Gorebyss (Japanese: サクラビス Sakurabyss) is a Water-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby

Gorebyss lives in the southern seas at extreme depths. Its body is built to withstand the enormous pressure of water at incredible depths. Because of this, this Pokémon's body is unharmed by ordinary attacks.

Pokémon Sapphire

Although Gorebyss is the very picture of elegance and beauty while swimming, it is also cruel. When it spots prey, this Pokémon inserts its thin mouth into the prey's body and drains the prey of its body fluids.

Pokémon Emerald

A Gorebyss siphons the body fluids of prey through its thin, tubular mouth. Its light pink body color turns vivid when it finishes feeding.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

Its swimming form is exquisitely elegant. With its thin mouth, it feeds on seaweed that grows between rocks.

Origin

Gorebyss may have been based on a hagfish, but it also resembles a long-nosed chimaera

Name Origin

Gorebyss's name is a combination of gore, to stab, and byss, referring to filaments mollusks use to attach themselves to rocks. Its name could also possibly be a play on gorgeous. Another explanation could lie with the words abyss and the abyssal zone. Gorebyss's descriptions seem to confirm this view. Its Japanese name is derived from the Japanese sakura, cherry blossom, possibly referring to its pink color, and the aforementioned byss.
