They live in sunken ships or in holes in the seabed. When Golisopod and Grapploct battle, the loser becomes the winner’s meal.
ShieldIt will do anything to win, taking advantage of every opening and finishing opponents off with the small claws on its front legs.
SwordIts claws, which it can extend and retract at will, are its greatest weapons. Golisopod is sometimes accompanied by Wimpod.
Ultra MoonThe shell covering its body is as hard as diamond. This Pokémon will do anything it takes to win.
Ultra SunIt battles skillfully with its six arms, but spends most of its time peacefully meditating in caves deep beneath the sea.
MoonWith a flashing slash of its giant sharp claws, it cleaves seawater—or even air—right in two.
