Girafarig is a Normal / Psychic-type Pokémon, No. 203 in the National Pokédex, introduced in Generation 2 (Johto region).
« Girafarig’s rear head contains a tiny brain that is too small for thinking. However, the rear head doesn’t need to sleep, so it can keep watch over its surroundings 24 hours a day. »
Its story
Lifestyle
It lives in savannas and grasslands and eats plants. The tail head cannot think alone: it mimics, warns if Girafarig sleeps, and releases psychic power. It evolves into Farigiraf.
In the anime
With Cherry, their bond lets it foresee the attacks of Team Rocket's giant Gengar.
Name origin
Girafarig is a palindrome built on giraffe, echoing its two heads. The design mixes a short-necked giraffe, perhaps a calf, and an okapi's hindquarters.
