Pokédex Entries

Pokémon DiamondView entryHide entry

It has a pliable body without any bones. If any part of its body is torn off, it grows right back.

Pokémon Pearl, Y & Alpha SapphireView entryHide entry

It apparently had a huge shell for protection in ancient times. It lives in shallow tidal pools.

Pokémon Platinum, Black, White, Black 2 & White 2View entryHide entry

Long ago, its entire back was shielded with a sturdy shell. There are traces of it left in its cells.

Pokémon HeartGold, SoulSilver, X & Omega RubyView entryHide entry

When its natural enemy attacks, it oozes purple fluid and escapes.

Pokémon SunView entryHide entry

It has strong regenerative capabilities. Even if parts of it are bitten off by fish Pokémon, it will return to normal within a few hours.

Pokémon MoonView entryHide entry

Plankton, invisible to the naked eye, is its main food source. It comes onto the land periodically, but the reason for this is not known.

Pokémon Ultra SunView entryHide entry

Long ago, it had a shell on its back. There’s now a vestigial plate on its back that’s hard but thin.

Pokémon Ultra MoonView entryHide entry

Their shape and color change, depending on their environment and diet. There are many of them at beaches where the waves are calm.

Pokémon SwordView entryHide entry

Its search for food sometimes leads it onto land, where it leaves behind a sticky trail of slime as it passes through.

Pokémon ShieldView entryHide entry

The softness of its body helps disperse the force of impacts, so although its body is uncommonly squishy, it’s also surprisingly resilient.

Pokémon Legends: ArceusView entryHide entry

Eats beach sand for nourishment. Should one Gastrodon encounter another of a different color, a fierce battle will inevitably ensue.

Pokémon ScarletView entryHide entry

Its whole body is sticky with mucus. In the past, this form of Gastrodon was by far the more numerous one.

Pokémon VioletView entryHide entry

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.
