Wishiwashi

Wishiwashi is a Water type Pokémon introduced in Generation 7.

Wishiwashi is very small, yet the people of the Alola region seem to view it as a terrifying Pokémon. When it’s in danger, Wishiwashi's glistening eyes catch the light and shine out, sending an SOS signal to its allies.

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.
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

Sun Weak Wishiwashi school together to concentrate their power. Their united force makes them the demon of the sea, feared near and far.
Moon At their appearance, even Gyarados will flee. When they team up to use Water Gun, its power exceeds that of Hydro Pump.
Ultra Sun Wishiwashi assemble in this formation to face off against strong foes. It boasts a strength that earned it the name “demon of the sea.”
Ultra Moon Called “demon of the sea” by some, when Wishiwashi are injured in battle and their numbers dwindle, they become a regular school.
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.
