Lanturn (Japanese: ランターン Lantern) is a dual-type Water/Electric Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Lanturn are large blue fish-like Pokémon with a pair of small blue fins. They have a yellow "mask" over their eyes, which have red irises. The end of the bottom of their oddly-shaped tail is also yellow. Lanturn's yellow orbs come from a modification of its dorsal fin. These orbs contain a colony of bacteria which creates a chemical reaction that generates electricity in a similar fashion to that of a battery, and such electricity can be freely manipulated by Lanturn.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Lanturn can use light to illuminate its surroundings and blind prey. Lanturn are capable of learning many Electric and Water type attacks, including some status moves like Thunder Wave, Confuse Ray, and Toxic.
Like most fully evolved Pokémon, Lanturn can learn Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
Behavior
Lanturn uses the bright part of its body, which changed from a dorsal fin, to lure fish prey. It then blinds the prey with an intense burst of light, swallowing the immobilized prey in a single gulp.
Habitat
Lanturn inhabits the ocean at depths of over three miles.
