  • Moon: Plankton, invisible to the naked eye, is its main food source. It comes onto the land periodically, but the reason for this is not known.
  • Ultra-Sun: Long ago, it had a shell on its back. There’s now a vestigial plate on its back that’s hard but thin.
  • Ultra-Moon: Their shape and color change, depending on their environment and diet. There are many of them at beaches where the waves are calm.
  • Sword: Its search for food sometimes leads it onto land, where it leaves behind a sticky trail of slime as it passes through.
