Gorebyss (Japanese: サクラビス Sakurabyss) is a Water-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Clamperl via trade with a DeepSeaScale.
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. It also has an antenna-like fin on top of its head and two small eyelashes on each eye. Gorebyss's shape suggests that it was modeled after a Pipefish or Snipe eel.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Its body is extremely durable, so as to withstand the extreme hydrostatic pressures exercised to it at such a depth, 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.
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
Gorebyss first appeared alongside Huntail in The Evolutionary War, where residents of a trio of islands cannot agree on which of Clamperl's two evolutions are better.
A Gorebyss appeared in Up Close and Personable!.

Trivia
- Gorebyss's Pokédex entry in Ruby and Sapphire is stated to be a carnivorous hunter, however it's also stated to be a herbivore in FireRed and LeafGreen.
- Gorebyss is also stated to suck the fluids out of its victim. However, it's unable to learn Leech Life.
- Despite being a pure Water-type Pokémon, it bears a Psychic-type Poké Assist in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.
Origin
Gorebyss may have been based on snipe eel. It also resembles a pipefish.
Name origin
Gorebyss's name is a combination of gore, to stab, and byss, referring to filaments mollusks used 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 桜 sakura, cherry blossom, possibly referring to its pink color, and the aforementioned byss.
