Boltund

Boltund's trivia

Bulbapedia notes Boltund is the only Pokémon able to have Strong Jaw naturally as an Ability while being unable to learn Ice Fang, that it shares its Dog Pokémon category with Dachsbun, and that the company logo for DENSOKU depicts a Boltund silhouette. Its design looks to the greyhound and the English Foxhound, and its link to Thievul may nod to fox hunting; the name joins bolt with Hund, German for dog, or hound.
