Overview

The relationship between humans and Herdier dates back many centuries—some scientists even believe that they had begun cooperating with humans even before the practice of Pokémon training. In the past, Herdier aided hunters in pursuing prey, cutting off fleeing game and helping drag carcasses back to villages. They are extremely loyal Pokémon, perhaps even to a fault; Herdier will always obey their trainers’ commands, even if doing so would put them in danger. They are very wary of strangers, however. Today, Herdier remain common sights in both rural and urban areas.On farms, they help herd and defend livestock, while in cities, they are often kept as pets and hailed for their loyalty. Herdier are believed to have even helped people raise other Pokémon in older times, leading many to believe that the practice of raising Herdier was a precursor to modern-day Pokémon training. Recently, cave paintings depicting Herdier and humans working together have been discovered in Unova. The dark cape-like fur on their backs is tough and hard; Herdier will shelter smaller Pokémon under these capes to protect them from harm. This fur gets both longer and harder as Herdier grow older.
