Overview |
Horsea nest in coral reefs, using their tails to grip onto rocks or coral in strong currents to prevent themselves from being washed away. They also use their tails to balance themselves while swimming. They can use their dorsal fins to swim in any direction while facing forwards, making them better adapted to movement than their close relatives Skrelp. Horsea eat insects and moss above the surface of the water. They locate targets and then shoots precise blobs of ink at them, knocking them below. When threatened, Horsea can also instinctively shoot ink into the water, turning it murky and buying themselves time to escape. They are playful Pokémon, oftentimes seen tangling their tails together as they swim about reefs (and occasionally ocean caverns as well). They may also shoot ink at or race each other through the water for fun. Thousands of Horsea eggs hatch during the spring, almost simultaneously. Oddly, these young are raised by their male parents rather than their female ones.
