Summary

Arctovish is a dual Water/Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

Type: Water / Ice

Abilities:

  • Water Absorb: Restores HP when hit by a Water-type move
  • Ice Body (Hidden Ability): Restores HP in a hailstorm

Physical Characteristics:

  • Arctovish is a prehistoric Pokémon with a fossil-like appearance.
  • It has a fish-like body covered in icy scales, with a thick, large head that houses its eyes and mouth.
  • Notably, its head is upside-down, giving it a unique and somewhat awkward look.
  • The Pokémon features flipper-like arms and a tail that contribute to its aquatic nature.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • As a fossil Pokémon, Arctovish is resurrected from combining two specific fossils: the Fossilized Fish and Fossilized Dino.
  • It is believed to have lived in the ancient seas, thriving in cold, icy waters.
  • Due to its awkward anatomy, it is thought to have struggled to survive, especially when hunting for prey.

In Battle:

  • Arctovish is a bulky Pokémon with strong defensive capabilities.
  • Its signature move, Fishious Rend, becomes more powerful if Arctovish attacks before the target.
  • Effective against Fire, Ground, and Dragon types due to its Water and Ice moves.
  • Vulnerable to Electric, Fighting, Rock, and Grass types.

Evolution:

  • Arctovish does not evolve from or into any Pokémon.
  • It is revived from fossils rather than evolving through traditional means.

Interesting Facts:

  • Arctovish, along with the other Galarian fossil Pokémon, is an amalgamation of mismatched fossils, reflecting a mix of historical inaccuracies and scientific mishaps from a prehistoric era.
  • Its unique appearance and upside-down head are a result of its fossil reconstruction, which was not true to its original form.
  • Arctovish's design and concept are inspired by historical "fossil mash-ups," where paleontologists incorrectly assembled dinosaur bones in the past.

Flavor Text Entries

  • Sword: Though it’s able to capture prey by freezing its surroundings, it has trouble eating the prey afterward because its mouth is on top of its head.
  • Shield: The skin on its face is impervious to attack, but breathing difficulties made this Pokémon go extinct anyway.
