Pokédex Entries
"Its whole body is sticky with mucus. In the past, this form of Gastrodon was by far the more numerous one." "It appears on beaches where the waters are shallow. Once it catches prey, it will slowly melt them with its mucus before slurping them up." | |
"It has a pliable body without any bones. If any part of its body is torn off, it grows right back." "It apparently had a huge shell for protection in ancient times. It lives in shallow tidal pools." | |
"It has strong regenerative capabilities. Even if parts of it are bitten off by fish Pokémon, it will return to normal within a few hours." "Plankton, invisible to the naked eye, is its main food source. It comes onto the land periodically, but the reason for this is not known." | |
"Long ago, it had a shell on its back. There’s now a vestigial plate on its back that’s hard but thin." "Their shape and color change, depending on their environment and diet. There are many of them at beaches where the waves are calm." | |
"When its natural enemy attacks, it oozes purple fluid and escapes." "It apparently had a huge shell for protection in ancient times. It lives in shallow tidal pools." | |
