Skrelp (クズモー Kuzumoo) is a Poison/Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Biology

Physiology

Skrelp is a brown aquatic Pokémon that resembles a marine animal similar to a seahorse called a leafy sea dragon. The tip of Skrelp's tail has three leaf-like fins. Skrelp has a pair of roundish, blue pectoral fins on the sides of its body, a purple belly and a blunt spike on its hunched back. Skrelp's face is the same color as its belly, with an upward-pointing snout and circular red eyes with small black pupils. A roundish blue growth with a brown stem sticks out on the back of Skrelp's head. It somewhat resembles Horsea in body shape.

Evolution

Skrelp evolves into Dragalge starting at level 48.

Sword
It drifts in the ocean, blending in with floating seaweed. When other Pokémon come to feast on the seaweed, Skrelp feasts on them instead.
Shield
Skrelp looks like a piece of rotten seaweed, so it can blend in with seaweed drifting on the ocean and avoid being detected by enemies.

Origin

Skrelp is based on a common seadragon. Its Poison type may come from the fact seaweed releases toxic gases when it rots.

Etymology

Skrelp comes from scrawny, seahorse and kelp.
