| Moon | Active both on land and in the sea, this Pokémon drags its land-based prey into the water to finish it off. |
| Ultra Sun | Its jaws are terrifyingly powerful. It could eat Omastar and Omanyte whole and not be bothered in the slightest by their shells. |
| Ultra Moon | Carracosta eats every last bit of the prey it catches, even the shells and bones, to further strengthen its sturdy shell. |
