Skrelp • Generation VIII Pokédex

Scarlet/Violet support is in the works!

Thank you for your interest in having the Marriland Pokédex updated to support Pokémon Scarlet & Violet! This has been something that I've been wanting to update for awhile, and it is my current project to implement support for the new games and The Teal Mask DLC. Thank you for your patience as I work on this over the coming week or two!

Pokédex Entries for Skrelp

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

Sword
It drifts in the ocean, blending in with floating seaweed. When other Pokémon come to feast on the seaweed, Skrelp feasts on them instead.
Shield
Skrelp looks like a piece of rotten seaweed, so it can blend in with seaweed drifting on the ocean and avoid being detected by enemies.

Generation 7 Pokédex Entries

Ultra Sun
It vanishes into seaweed and remains perfectly still to avoid attacks from large Pokémon. Rotten seaweed is its main food source.
Ultra Moon
It's not good at swimming, so it clings to the seaweed. In the Alola region, it's often found near Dhelmise.

Generation 6 Pokédex Entries

X Omega Ruby
Camouflaged as rotten kelp, they spray liquid poison on prey that approaches unawares and then finish it off.
Y Alpha Sapphire
It looks just like rotten kelp. It hides from foes while storing up power for its evolution.
