Drawing inspiration from sea serpent mythology, Milotic's design is reminiscent of fairytale creatures. Its ability to soothe hostility makes it a valuable team member.

Wishiwashi's unique ability to transform between a solo and school form showcases the power of unity. Inspired by schooling fish, its name plays on its fragility in its solo form. While powerful in its school form, it's extremely vulnerable when its health is low and susceptible to Grass and Electric-type attacks.
