Two Binacle live together on one rock. When they fight, one of them will move to a different rock. |
|---|---|
| Y Alpha Sapphire |
They stretch and then contract, yanking their rocks along with them in bold hops. They eat seaweed that washes up on the shoreline. |
| Sword | After two Binacle find a suitably sized rock, they adhere themselves to it and live together. They cooperate to gather food during high tide. |
| Shield | If the two don’t work well together, both their offense and defense fall apart. Without good teamwork, they won’t survive. |
