Horsea (Japanese: タッツー Tattu) is a Water-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold

If attacked by a larger enemy, it quickly swims to safety by adeptly controlling its dorsal fin.

Pokémon Ruby

Horsea eats small insects and moss off of rocks. If the ocean current turns fast, this Pokémon anchors itself by wrapping its tail around rocks or coral to prevent being washed away.

Pokémon Emerald

By cleverly flicking the fins on its back side to side, it moves in any direction while facing forward. It spits ink to escape if it senses danger.

Pokémon FireRed

It maintains balance using its tail, which is wound up like a coil. It may spray ink from its mounth.

Name origin

Horsea's name is based on seahorse. Its Japanese name is a misspelling of 竜 tatsu, dragon, which is part of the common name of a seahorse in Japanese, 竜の落し子 tatsu-no-otoshigo, lit. illegitimate child of a dragon.

It is, obviously, based on a seahorse.
