Flavor

Flavor Text

: With a flashing slash of its giant sharp claws, it cleaves seawater—or even air—right in two.
: It battles skillfully with its six arms, but spends most of its time peacefully meditating in caves deep beneath the sea.
: The shell covering its body is as hard as diamond. This Pokémon will do anything it takes to win.
: Its claws, which it can extend and retract at will, are its greatest weapons. Golisopod is sometimes accompanied by Wimpod.
