===Physiology===
[[File:025593 P TATTSU.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Horsea spraying ink]]
Horsea is a small, light blue {{wp|seahorse}} with tiny scales. It has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of a head and a base|no arms or legs}}, only a single fin on its back and a tightly curled tail. Its belly and fin are cream colored, and it has red eyes. There are three spike-like projections on either side of its head. The single fin on its back is used for locomotion in the water.
Horsea is a light blue, {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is similar to a {{wp|seahorse}}. It has red eyes, a long, tubular mouth, and three spike-like fins on either side of its head. Its ridged belly and single {{wp|dorsal fin}} are cream-colored. Highly adept in the water, it uses its dorsal fin to swim in any direction while facing forward. It has a tightly curled tail that it can use as both a balance and an anchor when caught in a strong current. In safer environments, it uses its tail to play with other members of its species.


====Gender differences====
Horsea feeds on insects and moss gathered from rocks. If Horsea senses danger, it sprays water or dense black ink from its mouth at its attacker. It can shoot more precisely at insects flying above the surface of the water. Horsea nests in coral reefs and islands throughout {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|oceans with gentle currents}}. Many {{pkmn|Egg}}s are laid every year, and the young are raised by the male Horsea rather than the female. Horsea swims with dance-like motions, creating whirlpools in the process. It tends to compete with each other to see who can create the biggest whirlpool.
None.
===Special abilities===
Horsea can spray ink from their mouth, and can swim in any direction while still facing forward.


===Behavior===
===Evolution===
Horsea are always known by being sensitive to their surroundings. If they sense trouble, they spit ink towards the instigator and flee. Horsea also spit ink to shoot down flying bugs for food, using their tail to keep their balance. When they are a safe location, they can be seen playfully tangling their tails together. Horsea do like swimming around, making them adept at using their fin. If the ocean current turns fast, however, Horsea will anchor themselves by wrapping their tail around rocks or coral to prevent being washed away. Horsea are also known for creating many nests at different coral reefs in the sea.
Horsea evolves into {{p|Seadra}}, which evolves into {{p|Kingdra}}.


===Habitat===
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data&rarr;Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Horsea and its evolutions share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Dratini}}, its evolutions, and {{p|Salamence}}. They are all known as Dragon Pokémon.
[[File:116Horsea RB.png|thumb|150px|Horsea's Red and Blue artwork depicting it with two fins instead of one]]
** Even though Horsea is in the [[species]] Dragon, it is not a {{t|Dragon}} type.
* Horsea and its evolved forms share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Dratini}}, its evolved forms, {{p|Salamence}}, and [[Regional form|Kalosian]] {{p|Goodra}}. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
*** It does, however, become a Dragon-type after its final evolution, can learn three Dragon-type moves by leveling up, and is in the Dragon Egg Group.
* Horsea's artwork from Pokémon Red and Blue depicted it with two fins instead of one. This two finned design was referenced in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], Horsea claims that its {{m|Water Gun}} always hits. Water Gun's accuracy, however, can fall below 100%.
* In its original artwork, Horsea had a pair of fins instead of just one.
* Even though Horsea learns Leer via level, Horsea cannot learn any physical attacks without TMs.


===Origin===
===Origin===
Horsea is based on a {{wp|seahorse}}, though its ability to shoot ink resembles that of a {{wp|squid}}. The fact that it's known as the Dragon Pokémon might be a reference to {{wp|Leafy sea dragon}}s.
Horsea seems to be based on a {{wp|seahorse}}. Its {{pkmn|category}} may be a reference to the Japanese word for seahorse, ''tatsu-no-otoshigo'' (dragon's child), which is derived from the myth that a seahorse that lives for a century will transform into a {{wp|dragon}}. Its ability to shoot {{wp|cephalapod ink|ink}} is reminiscent of a {{wp|squid}}, and the shape of its snout and {{a|Sniper}} Ability are reminiscent of a {{wp|water gun}}.


====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Horsea is derived from ''{{wp|seahorse}}'' with reversed syllables, and a corruption of the diminutive ''{{wp|horse|horsie}}''.  
Horsea may be derived from ''seahorse'' and ''horsie''.


Tattu is a corruption of 竜 ''tatsu'' (dragon), which is part of the common name of a seahorse in Japanese: 竜の落し子 ''tatsu-no-otoshigo'' ("illegitimate child of a dragon").
Tattu may be derived from 竜 ''tatsu'' (dragon) or 竜の落し子 ''tatsu-no-otoshigo'' (seahorse, lit. "illegitimate child of a dragon").

Horsea (Japanese: タッツー Tattu) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Seadra starting at level 32, which evolves into Kingdra when traded while holding a Dragon Scale.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to Game data→Evolution data for these details.)

Biology

Horsea spraying ink

Horsea is a light blue, piscine Pokémon that is similar to a seahorse. It has red eyes, a long, tubular mouth, and three spike-like fins on either side of its head. Its ridged belly and single dorsal fin are cream-colored. Highly adept in the water, it uses its dorsal fin to swim in any direction while facing forward. It has a tightly curled tail that it can use as both a balance and an anchor when caught in a strong current. In safer environments, it uses its tail to play with other members of its species.

Horsea feeds on insects and moss gathered from rocks. If Horsea senses danger, it sprays water or dense black ink from its mouth at its attacker. It can shoot more precisely at insects flying above the surface of the water. Horsea nests in coral reefs and islands throughout oceans with gentle currents. Many Eggs are laid every year, and the young are raised by the male Horsea rather than the female. Horsea swims with dance-like motions, creating whirlpools in the process. It tends to compete with each other to see who can create the biggest whirlpool.

Evolution

Horsea evolves into Seadra, which evolves into Kingdra.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

Trivia

Horsea's Red and Blue artwork depicting it with two fins instead of one
  • Horsea and its evolved forms share their category with Dratini, its evolved forms, Salamence, and Kalosian Goodra. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
  • Horsea's artwork from Pokémon Red and Blue depicted it with two fins instead of one. This two finned design was referenced in Alola, Kanto!

Origin

Horsea seems to be based on a seahorse. Its category may be a reference to the Japanese word for seahorse, tatsu-no-otoshigo (dragon's child), which is derived from the myth that a seahorse that lives for a century will transform into a dragon. Its ability to shoot ink is reminiscent of a squid, and the shape of its snout and Sniper Ability are reminiscent of a water gun.

Name origin

Horsea may be derived from seahorse and horsie.

Tattu may be derived from 竜 tatsu (dragon) or 竜の落し子 tatsu-no-otoshigo (seahorse, lit. "illegitimate child of a dragon").
