Golisopod changes

Pokédex entries

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