Pokédex descriptions
Legends Arceus
Eats beach sand for nourishment. Should one Gastrodon encounter another of a different color, a fierce battle will inevitably ensue.
Shield
The softness of its body helps disperse the force of impacts, so although its body is uncommonly squishy, it’s also surprisingly resilient.
Sword
Its search for food sometimes leads it onto land, where it leaves behind a sticky trail of slime as it passes through.
