Clean, clear waters are its usual habitat. When it’s about to be attacked by an invading enemy, it dives into the water to hide.

It detects nearby moisture with its fin. When its fin begins trembling rapidly, that means rain will fall in a few hours.

Shield

Its body’s cellular structure is similar to the molecular composition of water. It can melt invisibly in water.

Legends: Arceus

Tests show that its cells closely resemble water molecules, which perhaps explains its ability to conceal its form while submerged. I believe the origins of mermaid folklore lie with this Pokémon.
