Sprigatito: The Grass Cat Pokemon
Sprigatito is the newest Grass-type Pokemon in Violet and Scarlet. It stands at 1’4” with a weight of 9 pounds. Its ability, Overgrow, is also common for most starter Pokemon. Overgrow is activated when a Pokemon is low on health. It increases Grass-type damage when the ability, Overgrow, is activated.
