Biology

It lives in shallow seas, such as areas near a beach. It can eject its internal organs, which it uses to engulf its prey or battle enemies. Sometimes they wash on shore, and they can dry out. People hold competitions as to who can chuck more of them into the water.

It’s covered in a slime that keeps its skin moist, allowing it to stay on land for days without drying up.
Shield
It lives in warm, shallow waters. If it encounters a foe, it will spit out its internal organs as a means to punch them.
Sword
Its entire body is covered in its own slime. If you accidentally step on one, you’ll slip, and it will get mad and smack you!
Ultra Moon
The tradition known as Pyukumuku chucking started from the custom of throwing Pyukumuku back into the sea after they wash onshore.
Ultra Sun
These Pokémon line the beaches. The sticky mucous that covers their bodies can be used to soothe sunburned skin. How convenient!
