Biology

After a piece of seaweed merged with debris from a sunken ship, it was reborn as this ghost Pokémon. One swing of its anchor and it can knock out a Wailord. It gets along well with Dragalge.

After lowering its anchor, it waits for its prey. It catches large Wailord and drains their life-force.
Shield
After a piece of seaweed merged with debris from a sunken ship, it was reborn as this ghost Pokémon.
Sword
Its chain-like green seaweed can stretch outward for hundreds of yards. For some reason, it gets along well with Skrelp.
Ultra Moon
It wraps its prey in green seaweed and sucks away their vitality. It only likes to go after big prey like Wailord.
Ultra Sun
The soul of seaweed adrift in the waves became reborn as this Pokémon. It maintains itself with new infusions of seabed detritus and seaweed.
Moon
Swinging its massive anchor, it can KO Wailord in a single blow. What appears to be green seaweed is actually its body.
