Lore

Biology

Trevenant is 1.5 m tall and weighs 71 kg. It looks like a slender brown tree with a shadowy black body showing through gaps and a single red eye in a hollow near the top. Wavy branches curve from its head, it has three-fingered claws and six spider-like roots instead of legs.

Behaviour

People fear Trevenant as the ghost of the forest. The Pokédex says lumberjacks bring Fire types, which it hates, when they enter its woods. To the Pokémon that live there it is kind, and it does not even mind them settling in the greenery on its head.

Habitat

In Scarlet and Violet it is wild in Kitakami, from The Teal Mask, and appears in 5-star and 6-star Tera Raid Battles there; in Paldea it comes by trade or from HOME. In Legends: Z-A it lives in Wild Zones 13 and 15, and the Mega Dimension DLC adds Hyperspace Lumiose.

Powers

Natural Cure, Frisk and the Hidden Ability Harvest, which can regrow a used Berry, are its Abilities. It hits hard with Wood Hammer, Horn Leech, Shadow Claw and Phantom Force. Its 110 Attack is the highest of any Grass type introduced in Generation VI, but 56 Speed makes it slow.

Name origin

Trevenant may combine 'tree' and 'revenant', and possibly 'treant'. The Japanese name is Ohrot (オーロット), possibly from 大 ō ('big') and 'rot', as in root rot.

Design inspiration

The 'Elder Tree' category may nod to the Elder Mother, a tree spirit from English and Scandinavian folklore said to bring misfortune on those who steal elder wood. Its control of other trees through roots may nod to Pando, an aspen grove of about 47,000 stems joined by one root system.

Evolution notes

Trevenant is the final stage of the Phantump line and does not evolve further.

In the games

Trevenant is a playable melee Defender in Pokémon UNITE, evolving from Phantump at level 5. It debuted in X and Y, on Route 20.

In the anime

Trevenant debuted in 'Forging Forest Friendships!', where it carried Ash off, only to ask for help freeing its friends Bonsly and Sudowoodo from Team Rocket. In 'A Timeless Encounter!', a Totem Trevenant nicknamed Elder thanked Ash with a Firium Z after he helped free a flock of Cutiefly from its leaves.

Fun facts

• Bulbapedia counts Trevenant as the only trade evolver that could also be caught in the wild in the generation it was introduced.
• Bulbapedia suggests the stripe-like indentation on its body may recall the shimenawa rope that marks sacred places and is often shown tied around kodama tree spirits.
• Bulbapedia notes that its overall body shape resembles the kanji 木, meaning tree.
