Gorebyss (Japanese: サクラビス Sakurabyss) is a Water-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Clamperl when traded holding a DeepSeaScale. It is one of Clamperl's final forms, the other being Huntail.
Biology
Physiology
Gorebyss resembles a pink eel-like creature with a long thin mouth, and two shell-like structures on its chest which makes it resemble a mermaid. Gorebyss also has a purple-tipped antenna-like fin on top of its head, a similar, if shorter fin below its mouth, and two small eyelashes on each eye. Gorebyss's tail has two bands of lighter coloration, and at the tip of it is a rounded purple fin. Gorebyss's shape suggests that it was modeled after a pipefish or snipe eel.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Gorebyss's body is extremely durable, allowing it to withstand the extreme water pressures in the deep sea, which explains its high Defense stat.
It also uses its thin mouth to pick food from small openings. Its mouth can also serve as a strong spear-like weapon when it's hunting down prey. Gorebyss's light pink body color becomes more vivid after feeding on prey, and also becomes more vivid with the rise of water temperatures in the springtime.
Behavior
Despite its elegant and beautiful appearance, Gorebyss can seem very cruel when it comes to hunting and battle, not hesitating to use its sharp, thin mouth to stab its prey into submission.
Habitat
Gorebyss lives deep under the seas, and it can withstand the immense pressure that can be found at such extreme depths.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Gorebyss is an omnivore, and its basic diet consists of seaweed found in between rocks. It also uses its needle-like mouth to stab its prey, and then it proceeds to suck out its internal fluids.
In the anime

Multiple Gorebyss appeared in the opening of Destiny Deoxys.
A Gorebyss appeared in the opening of Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

Trivia
- Gorebyss's Pokédex entry in Ruby and Sapphire states that it is a meat-eating hunter; however, its FireRed and LeafGreen entry also states that it feeds on seaweed. It is therefore assumed that Gorebyss is an omnivore, for neither entry states it eats exclusively plants or meat.
- Gorebyss is stated to suck the fluids out of its victims. However, it is unable to learn any HP-draining moves such as Leech Life or Giga Drain.
- Despite being a pure Water-type Pokémon, it bears a Psychic-type Poké Assist in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.
- Gorebyss is lighter than its pre-evolution, weighing 49.8 lbs in comparison to Clamperl's weight of 115.7 lbs.
Origin
Gorebyss may have been based on the snipe eel. It also resembles a pipefish as well as an oarfish and a chimaera.
Name origin
Gorebyss may be a combination of gore (to stab) and abyss. It may also possibly be a play on gorgeous. Byss may also refer to the byssal threads mussels use to attach themselves to rocks.
Sakurabyss is a combination of 桜 sakura (cherry blossom, possibly referring to its pink color) and abyss.
