Pokédex entries
Sliggoo
| X Omega Ruby |
It drives away opponents by excreting a sticky liquid that can dissolve anything. Its eyes devolved, so it can’t see anything. |
|---|---|
| Y Alpha Sapphire |
Its four horns are a high-performance radar system. It uses them to sense sounds and smells, rather than using ears or a nose. |
| Sun | It has trouble drawing a line between friends and food. It will calmly try to melt and eat even those it gets along well with. |
| Moon | This Pokémon’s mucous can dissolve anything. Toothless, it sprays mucous on its prey. Once they’re nicely dissolved, it slurps them up. |
| Ultra Sun | It crawls along sluggishly. The swirly protrusion on its back is filled with its brain and other organs. |
| Ultra Moon | Its entire body is covered with gooey mucus that can dissolve anything. Be sure to put gloves on if you’re going to touch it. |
| Sword | Although this Pokémon isn’t very strong, its body is coated in a caustic slime that can melt through anything, so predators steer clear of it. |
| Shield | The lump on its back contains its tiny brain. It thinks only of food and escaping its enemies. |
| Scarlet | The swirly protrusion on its back is filled with all its vital organs, such as its brain and heart. |
| Violet | When Sliggoo senses danger, the mucus coating its entire body becomes more concentrated—it’ll dissolve anything. |
Hisuian Sliggoo
| Legends: Arceus | A creature given to melancholy. I suspect its metallic shell developed as a result of the mucus on its skin reacting with the iron in Hisui’s water. |
