Overview |
Floatzel have highly-developed flotation sacs, letting them carry more than twice their body weight while still remaining above the water’s surface. They are often seen lounging lazily down rivers, floating on their backs. Floatzel are very swift, capable of using speed-based moves like Aqua Jet in battle. They deflate their flotation sacs to dive and use their twin tails to propel themselves. Scientists believe that Floatzel were once terrestrial Pokémon that adapted to aquatic life in order to catch underwater prey. This theory is supported by the fact that they can move around perfectly well on land, though they prefer to be in the water. Floatzel are often found around fishing ports, where they are seen as both nuisances and aids. On one hand, they sometimes snatch prey straight from the hooks of anglers. On the other, they can be helpful Pokémon, known to rescue drowning people and Pokémon by inflating their raft-like flotation sacs and carrying them to shore on their backs. Generally, most anglers leave Floatzel alone because of this.
