'''Gastrodon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トリトドン''' ''Tritodon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].


It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Shellos}} starting at [[level]] 30.

Gastrodon have [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shellos and Gastrodon|two different appearances]]: '''West Sea''' (pink and brown) and '''East Sea''' (blue and green), found on the respective sides of [[Sinnoh]]'s mountain range.<!-- Due to this, there is a myth that the Sinnoh region was once split in two.-->
Gastrodon has [[#Form data|two different forms]]: '''West Sea Gastrodon''', which is pink and brown in appearance, and '''East Sea Gastrodon''', which is blue and green. They are found on the respective sides of [[Sinnoh]]'s mountain range.<!-- Due to this, there is a myth that the Sinnoh region was once split in two.-->


==Biology==
==Biology==
Gastrodon is a sea slug-like Pokémon, and appears much the same as its pre-evolution, but it gains four more stubby legs and is noticeably larger. They both have plain black eyes with white irises, with a third eye in the center of their forehead. Like Shellos, Gastrodon has two forms.
Gastrodon is a {{wp|sea slug}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Much like its pre-evolved form, it has a slug-like body with a round head and a {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} covering the top half of its body. It has six stubby legs and two black eyes with white pupils, with a mark imitating a third eye appearing on its forehead. A yellow stripe runs along the edge of its mantle, through its two lower eyes, and around the back of its head. Like {{p|Shellos}}, Gastrodon has two forms based on the sea it lives in.


In the West Sea form, the flower-like crest it had as a Shellos has now turned into horns adorning the side of its head, which point directly upwards in a crescent moon shape. Its underside up to the bottom of its mouth is pink, its back and the top of its head is completely brown, and it has two small protrusions on its back with several pink spots dotted around them. It also has two small protrusions on its neck underneath the horns, and it has a yellow border running down its body from its head, separating the brown and the pink coloration.
In its West Sea form, it has a pair of large tentacles on its head that curve upward and a smaller, straighter pair on its neck. Its underside is pink, while its mantle is brown, with three pink spots on each side of its back. There are also two lumps on its back, resembling the {{wp|cerata}} on real-life sea slugs.


In the East Sea form, it retains the horns it had as a Shellos, although now fully colored green which point at a 45 degree angle. Its underside up to the bottom of its mouth is blue, its back and the top of its head is completely green, and it has two yellow "fins" adorned on its back with a third bordering its side and rear, as well as two small blue spots between them. It has a yellow border running down its body from its head, separating the blue and the green coloration.
In its East Sea form, it retains the head tentacles it had as a Shellos, which are now fully green and angled slightly further upward. Its underside is turquoise, while its mantle is forest green with two turquoise spots on each side. It has a pair of yellow, fin-like cerata on its back and a wavy yellow line bordering its side and rear.


Gastrodon and its pre-evolution Shellos are examples of {{wp|allopatric speciation}}, though they are still able to breed. When it is threatened, it oozes purple fluid and flees. Gastrodon lives in shallow tidal pools.
Gastrodon and its pre-evolution Shellos are examples of {{wp|allopatric speciation}}, although the two forms can still breed with each other. It is also a relative of {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}. When threatened, it oozes a purple liquid and flees. While not poisonous, the fluid is very bitter and sticky. Its mucus-coated body is soft and squishy yet surprisingly resilient, and it leaves behind a trail of sticky slime when moving on land. It also has strong regenerative capabilities that allow it to recover from injuries or dismemberment within a few hours. In ancient times, it had a shell on its back, which gradually became a thin yet hard vestigial plate.


==In the anime==
Gastrodon lives in shallow tidal pools, beaches, and rocky shorelines. Its diet consists mainly of plankton, but it is occasionally known to move onto land to look for other foods, such as beach sand. When it finds prey, it melts it with mucus before eating them. While Gastrodon cannot stay out of water for too long due to its body being highly vulnerable to dehydration, it becomes more active during cloudy or rainy weather. It has been found on far-off mountains during times of constant rain. The two forms of Gastrodon are known to engage in heated conflict with one another. West Sea Gastrodon was much more numerous in the past than it is in the present. Conversely, East Sea Gastrodon's population has visibly increased in population as of late.

===Major appearances===
====[[Zoey's Gastrodon]]====
In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', Zoey's West Sea {{p|Shellos}} was revealed to have evolved into a Gastrodon. It was used alongside {{p|Lumineon}} in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. It was later used in the [[Contest Battle]]s as well, winning them and assuring Zoey would make her way to the finals.


====Other====
===Forms===
A West Sea Gastrodon debuted in ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]'' under the ownership of [[Cynthia]]. It appeared again in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'' where it was seen battling {{EF|Aaron}}'s {{TP|Aaron|Beautifly}} on [[television]].
Gastrodon has two separate forms: West Sea Gastrodon and East Sea Gastrodon. The two forms differ in appearance only.


An East Sea Gastrodon appeared in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'' under the ownership of [[Paul]]. It battled against {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Buizel}} in their {{pkmn|League}} match before losing against the latter.

===Evolution===
A West Sea Gastrodon belonging to a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} competing in the {{to|Sandalstraw}} {{pkmn|Contest}} appeared in ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks!]]''.
Gastrodon evolves from {{p|Shellos}}.

===Form data===
|
Gastrodon has two different forms: West Sea Gastrodon and East Sea Gastrodon. In most cases, where it is encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} determines its form. This is purely a cosmetic difference, and this Pokémon cannot change between forms.
 
West Sea Gastrodon is pink and brown in color, whereas East Sea Gastrodon is blue and green. There is also a slight difference in shape depending on the form.
 
In [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hisui]], West Sea Gastrodon is encountered west of [[Mount Coronet]], while East Sea Gastrodon is encountered east of Mount Coronet. In [[Paldea]], West Sea Gastrodon is encountered in [[Casseroya Lake]], while East Sea Gastrodon is encountered in [[North Province (Area One)]]; both forms can also be found in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s regardless of location. In other [[region]]s, only one form appears in the wild per game (with the other only obtainable via [[trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]): Gastrodon only appears in its West Sea form in [[Kalos]]'s [[Friend Safari]], and in [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only East Sea Gastrodon appear in the wild.

===Origin===
===Origin===
Gastrodon is based on a {{wp|sea slug}}, perhaps specifically of the order {{wp|Opisthobranchia}}.
Gastrodon is based on a {{wp|sea slug}},<ref name=NintendoPower/> perhaps one of the order {{wp|Opisthobranchia}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|Anaspidea|sea hare}}, a type of sea slug that is also known to secrete purple fluid in self-defense. The tentacles on Gastrodon's head are shaped like cattle horns, which may be a {{wp|visual pun}} on 海牛 ''umiushi'' (Japanese for sea slug, derived from 海 ''umi'' (sea) and 牛 ''ushi'' (cow; cattle)).
The East Sea Gastrodon seems to be based on a {{wp|Aplysiomorpha|sea hare}}.
