Chef Dente is the Pokémon Pokopia character who is a Greedent once owned by a chef. The character is one of several named Pokémon with distinctive histories or abilities in the game's story.
Greedent is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII. In Pokopia, Chef Dente's background connects the species to cooking and to a former trainer, giving the character a role that stands apart from ordinary wild Pokémon.
Other special characters include Mosslax, a Snorlax covered with moss and plants after sleeping for a very long time, and DJ Rotom, a Rotom possessing a stereo system. These names can be confused because each combines a Pokémon species with an unusual personal identity.
