Flavor Text Entries

  • Sun: With a flashing slash of its giant sharp claws, it cleaves seawater—or even air—right in two.
  • Moon: It battles skillfully with its six arms, but spends most of its time peacefully meditating in caves deep beneath the sea.
  • Ultra-Sun: The shell covering its body is as hard as diamond. This Pokémon will do anything it takes to win.
  • Ultra-Moon: Its claws, which it can extend and retract at will, are its greatest weapons. Golisopod is sometimes accompanied by Wimpod.
  • Sword: It will do anything to win, taking advantage of every opening and finishing opponents off with the small claws on its front legs.
  • Shield: They live in sunken ships or in holes in the seabed. When Golisopod and Grapploct battle, the loser becomes the winner’s meal.
