Pokédex entries
| Red Blue | Known to shoot down flying bugs with precision blasts of ink from the surface of the water. |
|---|---|
| Yellow | If it senses any danger, it will vigorously spray water or a special type of ink from its mouth. |
| Gold | If attacked by a larger enemy, it quickly swims to safety by adeptly controlling its dorsal fin. |
| Silver | Its big, developed fins move rapidly, allowing it to swim backward while still facing forward. |
| Crystal | When they're in a safe location, they can be seen playfully tangling their tails together. |
| Ruby | HORSEA eats small insects and moss off of rocks. If the ocean current turns fast, this POKéMON anchors itself by wrapping its tail around rocks or coral to prevent being washed away. |
| Sapphire | If HORSEA senses danger, it will reflexively spray a dense black ink from its mouth and try to escape. This POKéMON swims by cleverly flapping the fins on its back. |
