Flavor Text

: Swinging its massive anchor, it can KO Wailord in a single blow. What appears to be green seaweed is actually its body.
: The soul of seaweed adrift in the waves became reborn as this Pokémon. It maintains itself with new infusions of seabed detritus and seaweed.
: It wraps its prey in green seaweed and sucks away their vitality. It only likes to go after big prey like Wailord.
: Its chain-like green seaweed can stretch outward for hundreds of yards. For some reason, it gets along well with Skrelp.

: After a piece of seaweed merged with debris from a sunken ship, it was reborn as this ghost Pokémon.
: After lowering its anchor, it waits for its prey. It catches large Wailord and drains their life-force.
