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.

Interesting Facts:
