Grookey

() is the -type First partner Pokémon of the Galar region. It is one of the three First partner Pokémon revealed for the core titles, Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Grookey is a small monkey-like Pokémon with an orange muzzle, a yellow face "mask" around its eyes, and light green fur. It also has pointed brown ears and orange hands and feet. It has a hairdo that resembles two leaves, which holds its stick. Its tail is curved, short, and brown, and its eyes are black.
===Behavior===
Grookey are full of curiosity and also quite mischievous. They are considered to be a mood maker as their demeanor can make just about anyone happy. Like Braixen, they are also very attached to the branches on the top of their heads. One usually sleeps on the arms of its Trainer or family members. After Grookey are born, they grab a stick from a nearby tree and carry it with them for the rest of their lives. These sticks become infused with Grookey's energy by being around them. 
In the wild, Grookey live in troops with others of their kind. Their green fur contains chlorophyll and synthesizes sunlight into energy. Grookey troops can be heard from afar drumming in time on hard Berries. Trainers that do not take life seriously and enjoy dancing to their own rhythm will appreciate Grookey as their first Pokémon.
===Natural abilities===
Grookey can revitalize plants by touching them with the stick in its fur. It is also good at climbing trees.
Alternatively, the stick it wears can be used as a weapon to hit foes with.
==Evolution==
Grookey evolves into Thwackey starting at level 16, which evolves into Rillaboom starting at level 35.

==Trivia==
*The official Pokémon website claims that Grookey's green fur creates energy from sunlight. Despite this, it is the first Grass-type Starter Pokémon who cannot learn Synthesis. 
===Origin===
Grookey is possibly based on a squirrel monkey, more specifically an Ecuadorian squirrel monkey. Its use of sticks may reference how certain primates use items such as rocks and twigs as tools for various tasks.
===Etymology===
Grookey comes from 'grass', 'grow', 'monkey' and 'ook' (the onomatopoeia of a monkey).
Sarunori comes from 猿 saru (monkey) and ノリ nori (rhythm).
