Summary

Huntail is a Water-type Pokémon first seen in Generation III. This deep-sea dwelling creature is famous for its serpentine body shape and formidable demeanor. Its most distinguishing feature is a long tail with a bioluminescent orb, instrumental in attracting prey in the dark oceanic depths.

Type: Water

Abilities:

  • Swift Swim: This ability ramps up Huntail's Speed stat, doubling it during rainfall. This allows Huntail to outpace numerous contenders.
  • Hidden Ability (Water Veil): This advantageous ability shields Huntail from acquiring the Burn status condition. Protecting it from a Burn-induced Attack stat reduction proves especially handy during battles.

Evolution:

  • Huntail gains its form from Clamperl, but only when traded while Clamperl is holding a Deep Sea Tooth. This unique evolution enhances Huntail's physical attack prowess significantly.

Interesting Facts:

  • Physical Appearance: Huntail boasts a unique eel-like body. This includes a stretched, slender form, complete with scales and sharp teeth, enhancing its deep-sea terror persona.
