Overview |
Frillish live in the deepest, darkest parts of the ocean, where no light ever penetrates. They can be found as deep as five miles (8 kilometers) beneath the surface, resting in trenches and underwater caves. At dusk, Frillish float to higher oceanic zones in search of prey. They float slowly, but silently and stealthily in the ocean currents. Victims almost never notice these Pokémon approaching until it is too late. To capture prey, Frillish wrap their ribbon-like tentacles around their victims, paralyzing them with an incapacitating poison injected by the near-invisible spines lining these appendages. Females tend to have slightly longer spines. Then, Frillish drag their prey down into the ocean depths and back to their lairs, where victims succumb to the crushing pressure of the water above and drown. Because of their eerie natures and vaguely humanoid appearances, some believe that Frillish are actually the reincarnated souls of sailors lost at sea, or perhaps the residents of an ancient sunken city. Small swarms of these Pokémon sometimes congregate around boats in the middle of the sea at night; according to legend, this is because Frillish recall their memories of sailing in their past lives.
