Almost all its body is its stomach. Its harsh digestive juices quickly dissolve anything it swallows.

Generation 6

It has a small heart and brain. Its stomach comprises most of its body, with enzymes to dissolve anything.

Y

There is nothing its stomach can’t digest. While it is digesting, vile, overpowering gases are expelled.

Virtually all of Gulpin’s body is its stomach. As a result, it can swallow something its own size. This Pokémon’s stomach contains a special fluid that digests anything.

Alpha Sapphire

Most of Gulpin’s body is made up of its stomach—its heart and brain are very small in comparison. This Pokémon’s stomach contains special enzymes that dissolve anything.
