Effect

In battle

	This move effect may be in need of research. Reason: Does it check the Pokémon's species before or after using Transform (in each generation)? You can discuss this on the talk page.

If held by Clamperl, doubles its Special Attack.

Outside of battle

Causes Clamperl to evolve into Huntail when traded while holding it. This consumes the Deep Sea Tooth.

Pokémon the Series

Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire

A Deep Sea Tooth and a Deep Sea Scale appeared in The Evolutionary War. They were used to evolve Keith and Nancy's Clamperl into a Huntail and a Gorebyss, respectively. In this episode, Deep Sea Teeth were revealed to be found on Island C of the A-B-C Islands.

Two Deep Sea Teeth appeared in Showdown At Linoone as some of the items Tokin had picked up.

Trivia

• In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, when pluralized or prefixed with the indefinite article, this item's name is rendered with a lowercase 's' ("DeepseaTeeth" and "a DeepseaTooth", respectively). In Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, both of these instances are corrected to display with a capital 'S' ("DeepSeaTeeth" and "a DeepSeaTooth", respectively), matching how the item's name would normally be rendered.
