Pokedex Entries

GameEntry
LegendsArceusEats beach sand for nourishment. Should one Gastrodon encounter another of a different color, a fierce battle will inevitably ensue.
DiamondIt has a pliable body without any bones. If any part of its body is torn off, it grows right back.
PearlIt apparently had a huge shell for protection in ancient times. It lives in shallow tidal pools.
PlatinumLong ago, its entire back was shielded with a sturdy shell. There are traces of it left in its cells.
SunIt has strong regenerative capabilities. Even if parts of it are bitten off by fish Pokémon, it will return to normal within a few hours. A team of researchers is scouring the oceans of the world in search of a Gastrodon in a color never seen before.
MoonPlankton, invisible to the naked eye, is its main food source. It comes onto the land periodically, but the reason for this is not known. Experiments are being conducted to discover what happens when a Gastrodon is raised in a location other than the sea where it was born.
UltraSunLong ago, it had a shell on its back. There’s now a vestigial plate on its back that’s hard but thin. When it’s attacked, it gushes a purple liquid that’s not poisonous but makes Gastrodon’s meat bitter and inedible.
UltraMoonTheir shape and color change, depending on their environment and diet. There are many of them at beaches where the waves are calm. A relative of Shellder and Cloyster, this ocean dweller sometimes comes onto land in search of food.
SwordIts search for food sometimes leads it onto land, where it leaves behind a sticky trail of slime as it passes through. It secretes a purple fluid to deter enemies. This fluid isn’t poisonous—instead, it’s super sticky, and once it sticks, it’s very hard to unstick.
ShieldThe softness of its body helps disperse the force of impacts, so although its body is uncommonly squishy, it’s also surprisingly resilient. Its body is covered in a sticky slime. It’s very susceptible to dehydration, so it can’t spend too much time on land.
BrilliantDiamondIt has a pliable body without any bones. If any part of its body is torn off, it grows right back.
ShiningPearlIt apparently had a huge shell for protection in ancient times. It lives in shallow tidal pools.
ScarletThey normally inhabit rocky seashores, but in times of continuous rain, they can sometimes be found in the mountains, far from the sea. Its whole body is sticky with mucus. In the past, this form of Gastrodon was by far the more numerous one.
VioletFishers say that they didn’t see many of these Pokémon in the past, but this form of Gastrodon is now increasing in number. 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.
