Flavor Text Entries

  • Sun: It delivers headbutts with the water bubble on its head. Small Pokémon get sucked into the bubble, where they drown.
  • Moon: Despite what its appearance suggests, it cares for others. If it finds vulnerable, weak Pokémon, it protectively brings them into its water bubble.
  • Ultra-Sun: It usually passes its time in the water. When its belly is full, it stores its subdued prey in the water bubble on its head.
  • Ultra-Moon: It has a habit of storing things it values in its water bubble. If its Trainer doesn’t watch out, Araquanid will try to put them in its bubble!
  • Sword: It launches water bubbles with its legs, drowning prey within the bubbles. This Pokémon can then take its time to savor its meal.
  • Shield: It acts as a caretaker for Dewpider, putting them inside its bubble and letting them eat any leftover food.
