Deep-Sea-Scale 
Deep-Sea Scale is an item in the Pokémon series that specifically benefits Clamperl. When held by Clamperl, it doubles its Special Defense stat, significantly enhancing its ability to withstand special attacks. This makes Clamperl a more formidable opponent in battles where it might otherwise be vulnerable to special moves.
Some interesting facts about Deep-Sea Scale include its role in Pokémon evolution. While Deep-Sea Scale itself does not directly trigger an evolution, it can be seen as part of the evolutionary line's lore. Clamperl evolves into either Huntail or Gorebyss when traded holding specific items—Deep-Sea Tooth for Huntail and Deep-Sea Scale for Gorebyss. This dual evolutionary path is unique and highlights the item's importance in the Pokémon universe.
In the context of the game's storyline, Deep-Sea Scale can often be found in underwater areas or be given as a reward for certain in-game events. Its rarity adds to its value, making it an item players might
