Horsea (Japanese: タッツー Tattu) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves into Seadra starting at level 32, which then evolves into Kingdra when traded holding a Dragon Scale.
Biology
Physiology
Horsea is a small, light blue seahorse with tiny scales. Its belly and fin are cream colored. Its tail is always curled up tightly and it has a single fin on its back that is used for locomotion in the water.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Horsea can spray ink from their mouth, and can swim in any direction while still facing forward.
Behavior
Horsea are always known by being sensitive to their surroundings. If they sense trouble, they spit ink towards the instigator and flee. Horsea also spit ink to shoot down flying bugs for food, using its tail to keep its balance. When they are a safe location, they can be seen playfully tangling their tails together. Horsea do like swimming around, making them adept in using their fin. If the ocean current turns fast, however, Horsea will anchor itself by wrapping its tail around rocks or coral to prevent being washed away. Horsea are also known for creating many nests at different coral reefs in the sea.

Trivia
- Horsea and its evolutions share the same species name with Dratini, its evolutions, and Salamence. They are all known as Dragon Pokémon.
- Even though Horsea is in the species Dragon, it is not a Template:Type2.
- It does, however, become a Dragon-type after its final evolution, can learn three Dragon-type moves by leveling up, and is in the Dragon egg group.
- Even though Horsea is in the species Dragon, it is not a Template:Type2.
- In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Horsea claims that its Water Gun always hits. Water Gun's accuracy, however, can fall below 100%.
- This may be a reference to its ability Sniper, even though Sniper doesn't affect accuracy.
- In its original artwork, Horsea had a pair of fins instead of just one.
Origin
Horsea is based on a seahorse, though its ability to shoot ink resembles that of a squid. The fact that its known as the Dragon Pokémon might be a reference to Leafy sea dragons.
Name origin
Horsea's name is based on seahorse, with reversed syllables, and the diminutive word horsie. 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.
