Yellow The existence of this mythical POKéMON was only recently confirmed by a fisherman who caught one.
Gold It is born large to start with. It repeatedly sheds its skin as it steadily grows longer.

Crystal It sheds many layers of skin as it grows larger. During this process, it is protected by a rapid waterfall.

Moon After a 10-hour struggle, a fisherman was able to pull one up and confirm its existence.
Ultra Sun It’s still weak, so it lurks on the floor of bodies of water, eating whatever food sinks down and living a quiet life.

Let's Go Eevee
