Gorebyss (サクラビス Sakurabisu) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.

Biology

Physiology

Gorebyss is a very attractive Pokémon, said to resemble a mix between both a chimera and possibly even a mermaid. Its body is a peachy pink which is said to turn a much more vivid shade after eating and during springtime. Gorebyss' mouth is a thin tube which is used to sip on fluids out of its prey. It has a pair of narrow fins, as well as two purple sea shells in the chest area, similar to a mermaid's attire. Another notable characteristic of the creature is two white stripes right before the tail, a whip-like structure with a purple disc attached to the end of it. Gorebyss also has a thin dorsal fin which is tipped with purple. It is a considerably feminine Pokémon due to its color and eyelashes, however, it is not uncommon to see male versions.

Evolution

Gorebyss evolves from Clamperl by trade while holding a Deep Sea Scale.

Appearances

Anime

A Gorebyss first appeared in MS007. It made its anime appearance in The Evolutionary War.

• Nancy's Gorebyss
• Juan's Gorebyss
• Lizabeth's Gorebyss
• Gorebyss (DP089)

Trivia

• Gorebyss's head is the same shape as Huntail's tail.
• Despite being a pure Water-type Pokémon, it has the ability to learn many Psychic-type moves and even has a Psychic-type PokéAssist in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows Of Almia.

Origin

Gorebyss shares similarities with a pipefish, long-nosed chimera, and snipe eel. It may also specifically be based on an oarfish, a fish that its evolutionary relative, Huntail, appears to be based on. All of them are known for their body length and proboscis-like snouts. The clam-shells on its front may reference mermaids, as seashells are a common wardrobe accessory for them. Its elegant appearance mixed with its cruel nature and possible mermaid-based inspiration may also make it based on sirens.

Etymology

Gorebyss may come from "gorgeous", "gore" and "abyss".
