Gastrodon (Japanese: トリトドン Toritodon) is a dual-type Water/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves from Shellos at level 30.

Like its pre-evolution, there are two forms of Gastrodon, West Sea (pink and brown) and East Sea (blue and green), found in the two halves of Sinnoh.

Biology

Physiology

Gastrodon is a Pokémon based on a sea slug. It has three eyes in front of its head and two horns protruding from the sides of its head. These might be its antennae used to sense its surroundings. To do this, it waves its head side to side as if it were dancing.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

If any part of a Gastrodon's boneless body is ever ripped or torn off, it can grow back in very little time.

Trivia

• According to an interview in Nintendo Power with Ken Sugimori, Shellos and Gastrodon were originally designed for Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions, but were not implemented in the final design.
• Both Shellos and Gastrodon have a beta back sprite in the data. However, there are no front sprites for these forms, and neither Shellos nor Gastrodon can be captured with this form.
• No in-game trainer uses East Sea Gastrodon in battle, even if the Trainer's current location is east of Mt. Coronet.

Origin

Gastrodon is based on a sea slug, perhaps specifically that in the order, Opisthobranchia.

Name origin

Gastrodon's name is derived from "gastropod", the zoological category slugs and snails belong to, and "don", a Spanish honorific meaning leader or king, or in other words, king of snails and slugs.

The name Toritodon is derived from Tritoniidae. It may also come from the fact that eastern Gastrodon look like cows or oxen. The word Torito is Spanish for "little bull". Its name might mean "royal ox snail", referring to its strength. Its French name, Tritosor, comes from triton.

In other languages

• German: Gastrodon
• French: Tritosor
• Korean: 트리토론 Tritoron
