Wishiwashi
Wishiwashi is a Water type Pokémon introduced in Generation 7.
Wishiwashi is very small, yet the people of the Alola region seem to view it as a terrifying Pokémon. When it’s in danger, Wishiwashi's glistening eyes catch the light and shine out, sending an SOS signal to its allies.

Pokédex entries
Solo Form
| Sun | When it’s in trouble, its eyes moisten and begin to shine. The shining light attracts its comrades, and they stand together against their enemies. |
|---|---|
| Moon | It’s awfully weak and notably tasty, so everyone is always out to get it. As it happens, anyone trying to bully it receives a painful lesson. |
| Ultra Sun | They’re weak, so they move in schools. However, they can also often be seen all alone, having strayed from the school. |
| Ultra Moon | When it’s in a jam, its shining eyes attract others of its kind. The light from its eyes is visible almost 25 miles away. |
| Sword | Individually, they’re incredibly weak. It’s by gathering up into schools that they’re able to confront opponents. |
| Shield | When it senses danger, its eyes tear up. The sparkle of its tears signals other Wishiwashi to gather. |
School Form
| Sun | Weak Wishiwashi school together to concentrate their power. Their united force makes them the demon of the sea, feared near and far. |
|---|---|
| Moon | At their appearance, even Gyarados will flee. When they team up to use Water Gun, its power exceeds that of Hydro Pump. |
| Ultra Sun | Wishiwashi assemble in this formation to face off against strong foes. It boasts a strength that earned it the name “demon of the sea.” |
| Ultra Moon | Called “demon of the sea” by some, when Wishiwashi are injured in battle and their numbers dwindle, they become a regular school. |
| Sword | On their own, they’re very weak. But when Wishiwashi pool their power together in a school, they become a demon of the sea. |
| Shield | When facing tough opponents, they get into formation. But if they get wounded in battle, they’ll scatter and become solitary again. |
