The SWSH Black Star Promos are a series of promotional cards tied in with the Sword & Shield Series of cards, which started with the release of the Galar Collection, the same day as Pokémon Sword and Shield. With the introduction of this Series, the SM prefix for promotional cards was changed to SWSH.
Grimmsnarl is a green-skinned humanoid Pokémon mostly covered in long, dark purple hair, except for part of its face, its abdomen, its feet, and a small red patch on its chest. Most of its hair wraps around its body, except for a lock on each side of its face, a few spikes raised on its shoulders and some locks draping from behind its legs resembling a cape. While being bulkier than its pre-evolutions, Grimmsnarl is more slender than it appears to be, with its hair giving the appearance of a muscular body. Grimmsnarl's hair works like muscle fibers and helps enhance its strength. Grimmsnarl is able to move its hair, and uses them to ensnare opponents in a tentacle-like fashion. By using its hair in this way, Grimmsnarl is powerful enough to overwhelm Machamp.
