Furfrou (Japanese: トリミアン Trimmien) is a  introduced in Generation VI.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Furfrou can have its hair trimmed into nine different styles to change its appearance. The styles include the Star, Diamond, Heart, Pharaoh, Kabuki, La Reine, Matron, Dandy, and Debutante Trim. A trimmed Furfrou will revert into its Natural Form if five days have passed since it was trimmed without being deposited in the PC, or if it is deposited in (Generation VI) or withdrawn from (Generation VII) the PC.

Biology
Furfrou is a dog-like Pokémon with thick, white fur that covers its black body apart from its paws and face. It has round eyes with blue eyelids and red irises, a pointed snout with a round nose at the end, and long rectangular ears. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw.

This Pokémon's furry coat cushions it against physical attacks, though cutting it increases the swiftness of its movements. It used to guard the king in the ancient times of Kalos. Like some real-world poodles, some domesticated Furfrou are commonly seen with their fur trimmed into various styles. Furfrou is known to be loyal to its Trainer, and only allows someone it trusts to trim it. In the past, aristocrats would even compete over who could trim its fur into the most exquisite style.
