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.

Pokédex Entries for Wishiwashi

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

Solo Form

Sword
Individually, they're incredibly weak. It's by gathering up into schools that they're able to confront opponents.
Shield
When it senses danger, its eyes tear up. The sparkle of its tears signals other Wishiwashi to gather.

School Form

Sword
On their own, they're very weak. But when Wishiwashi pool their power together in a school, they become a demon of the sea.
Shield
When facing tough opponents, they get into formation. But if they get wounded in battle, they'll scatter and become solitary again.

Generation 7 Pokédex Entries

Solo Form

Sun
When it's in trouble, its eyes moisten and begin to shine. The shining light attracts its comrades, and they stand together against their enemies.
Moon
It's awfully weak and notably tasty, so everyone is always out to get it. As it happens, anyone trying to bully it receives a painful lesson.
Ultra Sun
They're weak, so they move in schools. However, they can also often be seen all alone, having strayed from the school.
Ultra Moon
When it's in a jam, its shining eyes attract others of its kind. The light from its eyes is visible almost 25 miles away.
