Skrelp

Mock Kelp Pokémon ^#690

It drifts in the ocean, blending in with floating seaweed. When other Pokémon come to feast on the seaweed, Skrelp feasts on them instead.

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.

- Poison-Point
  Whenever a move makes contact with this Pokémon, the move's user has a 30% chance of being poisoned.
- Poison-Touch
  This Pokémon's contact moves have a 30% chance of poisoning the target with each hit. This counts as an extra effect for the purposes of shield dust. This ability takes effect before mummy.

- Adaptability
  This Pokémon inflicts twice as much damage with moves whose types match its own, rather than the usual same-type attack bonus of 1.5×.

It’s not good at swimming, so it clings to the seaweed. In the Alola region, it’s often found near Dhelmise.
