When it senses danger, its eyes tear up. The sparkle of its tears signals other Wishiwashi to gather.
ShieldIndividually, they’re incredibly weak. It’s by gathering up into schools that they’re able to confront opponents.
SwordWhen it’s in a jam, its shining eyes attract others of its kind. The light from its eyes is visible almost 25 miles away.
Ultra MoonThey’re weak, so they move in schools. However, they can also often be seen all alone, having strayed from the school.
Ultra SunIt’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.
MoonWhen it’s in trouble, its eyes moisten and begin to shine. The shining light attracts its comrades, and they stand together against their enemies.
