Skrelp is a Poison/Water type Pokémon introduced in Generation 6. It is known as the Mock Kelp Pokémon.

Disguised by its shape, Skrelp pretends to be a piece of seaweed. When prey gets too close, Skrelp bathes it in poison to keep it from struggling.

Pokédex entries

X Omega Ruby	Camouflaged as rotten kelp, they spray liquid poison on prey that approaches unawares and then finish it off.
Y Alpha Sapphire	It looks just like rotten kelp. It hides from foes while storing up power for its evolution.
Ultra Sun	It vanishes into seaweed and remains perfectly still to avoid attacks from large Pokémon. Rotten seaweed is its main food source.
Ultra Moon	It’s not good at swimming, so it clings to the seaweed. In the Alola region, it’s often found near Dhelmise.
Sword	It drifts in the ocean, blending in with floating seaweed. When other Pokémon come to feast on the seaweed, Skrelp feasts on them instead.
Shield	Skrelp looks like a piece of rotten seaweed, so it can blend in with seaweed drifting on the ocean and avoid being detected by enemies.
