Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Reveals Farigiraf, The Evolution Of Girafarig

That is terrifying.

What a horrible way to live. Imagine if your own head is fused and surrounded by another head, that its own will. Its life is like that of CatDog, only more bizarre.

Now I hope at least part of its cry sounds like a Chain Chomp bark. XD

Ahhhhh! I love it <3

So a Chomp had some fun with a Giraffe and this is the result? Awkward.
Also a Face within a face? Alien?

I’d imagine this evo is Paldea exclusive, like the evos from Legends: Arceus. It’s a really neat design and the name is really fun to say.

Everyones talking about Farigiraf but what about that thing in the second picture.. thats the true nightmare fuel.

It’s so cool that Farigiraf a creation is by a fan, originating from 2012: https://fantasticfakemon.tumblr.com/post/39328133431/girafarig-farigiraf-type-not-provided
The concept even looks the same.

The design here is whack and uncreative. Sorry.

I'm a bit disappointed that it's still Normal/Psychic. I think it could've dropped Normal for Dark.

That is quite cool how they did it. I thought it would be Ghost or Dark but yeah Psychic fits with it closing it's extra head so it can't see. And that does look like a Chain Chomp to me.

Uhhh. No thanks. One of the few missers in new Pokémon designs in my opinion.

@Justaguest That's Grafaiai! He's a graffiti monkey.

@Friendly I don't know, the tail taking over as the main head and flipping the name inside out are kind of the most obvious moves for a Girafarig evo.

I also don't think this specific fan design inspired Farigiraf. On the fan design, the Pokemon kind of just rotates and the formerly main head becomes vestigial. The Game Freak design is a bit more inspired, with the vestigial tail moving forward and enveloping the main head.

Absolutely terrifying.

@Bret it’s more inspired, but you can expect that, right? Fan vs official design.

@Friendly Sure, I'm just saying I think it's coincidental that they had the same name and similar concept.

So it just- doesn't have a tail anymore?

A classic case of the tail wagging the dog...

A really long-necked doggo.

As someone who low-key likes the concept of Girafarig, I'm here for this [long-overdue] evolution. The design is definitely weird, but doesnt feel any weirder/creepier than having a second, questionably sentient head for a tail.

Heck, it just looks like it's wearing an elaborate mask, really.

You know what we absolutely didn't need. An evolution to Girafarig. I'll take it tho. So excited for this gen

@RubyCarbuncle at least it wasnt a piranha plant head that thing would be setting peoples butts on fire.

It looks better than Girafarig, IMO

Finally! Heck yeah.

Read it's description in the trailer. The head protects it when it headbutts it's opponent. I don't think that sounds too creepy for me anymore.

He looks so good.

So their tale ate their head? 🫢

WHAT IN GOD’S NAME IS THAT?!

@Bratwurst35 Then you can look at the post literally above yours and see it was a fan design.

@Friendly I’d say that’s a bit of a stretch. The fan concept has nothing in common with the official design other than making the main head black (which would be an obvious progression from Girafarig). And the name they used was just a pretty obvious one to guess given Girafarig’s palindromic name (just turning the original palindrome inside out).

Girafarig is actually a giraffe now.

I really like this design, the head being very chain chomp like as others have already mentioned.

@Bret I dont care what its called it better stay away from me D:

Oh nope. This confirms you should stay away from the leaks as far as possible. I should've learned that before...
Anyway it's a creative, but also unexpected twist on Girafarig's tail. Many fans depicted Girafarig's tail as becoming an identical twin in fake evolutions.

@kalosn A highlight of the trailer isn't really a "leak"

I think it's safe to say that Wiglett might be an evolution of Diglett now. The fact that Girafarig got new Paldea exclusive evolution, without even having a Paldea form first, what's to say the se won't happen with Diglett?

At least it can poop now, lol. 💩

@Ability-King-KK My guess it's the devolution, like how Pichu became the pre-Pikachu Pokemon. So Wiglett, Diglett, Dugtrio

@Bret
Actually I was talking about something else. Something that seemed fake until the official announcements confirmed them.

@SteamEngenius Well I stand corrected then good sir. Still feels whack and uncreative. However, with that said it's not like the official pokemon team has had a perfect run either when it came to pokemon designs.

Thanks though.

@Brady1138 (pretend this is the revelation during each episode of the anime) "Iiiiiit's FARIGIRAF!"

Awesome, but I likely won't make use of one if I get this game. Design is sweet and I LOVE they didn't make it an evo of a regional form- some designs can and should already be expanded on!

AAAAAH! I love it!

That is pretty creepy. Why yes it is.

And its final evolution, Farigirafarigiraf. It'll be an eldritch monstrosity and all will bow before it.

Woah, what a nightmare.

Absolutely adorable! Much better than the base. As someone who never used the original I might actually evolve this as quickly as possible to use this badass, but adorable, character.

Also, anyone who spells 'whoa' as 'woah' needs to have any keyboard or writing utensils removed from their possession.

@Friendly well I actually like the fan design better

@jpcryptid same

"And Otto is Otto backwards!" "Now I'm scared."

Still have thumbnail spoiling problems huh nintendolife. How ignorant of you 🙄😒

Oh God it's simultaneously eating its own head and wearing its own face as a hoodie; what the hell, TPC?
