CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

Horsea hides near coral and feeds on small insects and moss found on stones. When the current becomes too strong, its tail grips a rock to hold it in place. Threatened, it releases an ink cloud that conceals its escape. Yet its accuracy does more than defend it: from the surface, it can hit a flying insect with a precise jet. The Pokédex describes an inhabitant of calm waters that knows how to use every support.

This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Shield relates that Horsea creates whirlpools by dancing underwater, then compares their size with those of its companions. Pokémon X credits it with another skill: hitting a flying insect from the surface with a jet of ink.
