It evolves from Girafarig
when leveled up while knowing Twin Beam.
Biology
Farigiraf is a quadrupedal
giraffine Pokémon. Its body is primarily orange with a long, brown neck and
topside, yellow underside and lower legs, and black cloven hooves. Its main
head has a yellow blaze on top, two yellow ossicones with bulbous tips, white
eyes with black eyelashes and irises, pink upper eyelids, dark brown spots
around its eyes, and a round, pink nose. This head is covered by Farigiraf's
tail head, which has moved forward, hardened, and fused with its main head as
it evolves from Girafarig.[1] The tail head is dark brown with a black face,
yellow eyes, sharp white teeth, and four ossicone-like antennae with bulbous
tips. There are four orange spots on the front of Farigiraf's neck, and seven dark
brown spots circling around where its neck meets its body. It has a row of
eight dark brown and yellow spikes running down its spine. Since its tail head
had migrated to its neck, Farigiraf lacks a visible tail.
Farigiraf's two brains are
connected through thick nerves, allowing it to increase its psychic energy and
unleash psychic waves through its antennae. The increased psychic power is 10
times stronger than that of Girafarig. When Farigiraf uses its psychic powers,
the eyes on its tail head glow a bright green. Farigiraf is always observing
its surroundings and its brains can instantly detect danger. However, its body
sometimes cannot react as quickly.[1]
Farigiraf's thick, sturdy
tail head serves as both offense and defense for the inner head. When attacking,
Farigiraf closes its tail head before using its long neck for a brutal physical
attack. This neck attack is powerful enough to destroy both stone and steel
beams.[1]
Farigiraf and its
pre-evolved form are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Twin
Beam. Farigiraf is also the only known Pokémon that can have Armor Tail as an
Ability.
Evolution
Farigiraf evolves from
Girafarig.
Trivia
Like its pre-evolution,
Farigiraf's name is a palindrome, though not in Japanese.
Origin
Farigiraf appears to be
based on a giraffe. It also shares traits with the Sivatherium or the
Decennatherium, which are four-horned prehistoric relatives of the giraffe —
fossils of Decennatherium have only ever been discovered in Spain.[2][3] The
way its old tail surrounds its head resembles the hood of a kigurumi or mascot
costume.
Name origin
Farigiraf is an inversion of
Girafarig.
Rikikirin may be derived from
力
riki (power) and 麒麟 kirin (giraffe) with the name being an anagram of キリンリキ
Kirinriki (Girafarig). It not being a palindrome may reflect that Farigiraf’s
tail now surrounds its head.
