CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Finizen likes playing with its kind using the water ring around its tail. This ring is more than seawater: it also contains a sticky substance Finizen secretes from its blowhole. To perceive its surroundings, it emits ultrasound that can reveal other living beings' emotions. The Pokédex thus gives it two very different means of relating to others: visible play in water and invisible perception of others.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Violet notes that Finizen's tail ring combines seawater with a secretion from its blowhole. Pokémon Scarlet describes its games with other Finizen and its use of ultrasound to perceive living beings' emotions.
