A favorite among trainers who prefer aggressive strategies, it can also Mega Evolve.

Kingdra, a Water/Dragon type, balances elegance and power. Its design incorporates elements of sea dragons and seahorses. Its balanced stats make it effective in various battle scenarios, especially in rainy conditions. Obtaining Kingdra requires trading a Seadra while holding a Dragon Scale, adding to its rarity.

Unlike many other Pokémon on this list, Lanturn is a Water/Electric type, making it resistant to Electric attacks. Its bioluminescent lure is a key feature, attracting prey in the darkest depths.

Wishiwashi's unique ability to transform between a solitary, weak form and a powerful school form highlights the power of unity. Inspired by schooling fish, its name plays on "wishy-washy," reflecting its Solo Form's fragility.
