Misty's Horsea: Difference between revisions

}}

'''Misty's Horsea''' (Japanese: '''カスミのタッツー''' ''Kasumi's Tattu'') was the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by {{an|Misty}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], and the first she {{pkmn2|caught}} within the series.

Horsea next appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where it swam in a fountain at the [[Eevee brothers]] [[Evolution]] party. The guests’ Pokémon including Horsea were captured by {{TRT}}. Using its ability to spray ink, Horsea left a trail on the ground, allowing Ash and the others to quickly locate the Rocket trio. Horsea later sprayed ink at [[Jessie]] to distract her, helping [[Mikey]] recover his stolen {{p|Eevee}}.

Much later, in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', Horsea was feeling ill because Misty wasn't letting it out enough to get any exercise. With no ocean nearby, Misty decided to take it [[Cerulean City|home]], where it could play and swim in the [[Cerulean Gym]]'s many aquariums. When she arrived home, Misty was roped into her [[The Sensational Sisters|sisters']] underwater ballet performance as the lead mermaid. Horsea also took part, playing the role of one of Misty’s underwater friends. Team Rocket later gate crashed the show. Misty tried to take on [[Jessie's Arbok]], though its {{m|Bubble}} attack was swatted away. Arbok attempted to {{m|Wrap}} itself around Horsea, but Horsea used a {{m|Smokescreen}} to escape and the other Pokemon took out Team Rocket. After the show, Misty reluctantly left Horsea and her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} in the care of her sisters.

{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Misty's Horsea}}

As shown in its [[EP019|debut]], Horsea prefers to use words before battling head on. Horsea, like {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}}, had trouble functioning on land, so {{an|Misty}} didn't use it much in her {{pkmn|battle}}s. Misty was particularly protective of Horsea and she would normally carry it, namely because of its small size. However, when it was used, it proved to be very resourceful - using ink to draw pictures or leave trails. It, like the rest of its species, prefers large bodies of water to swim in, hence, it grew sad and ill when it was forced to swim in small puddles of water, and Misty later left it at the [[Cerulean Gym]], so that it could swim to its heart's content in the Gym's pool.
