Qwilfish (Japanese: ハリーセン Harysen) is a dual-type Water/Poison Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Qwilfish is a small, round fish Pokémon covered in many sharp spikes. These spikes are derived from its scales. It has a paddle-shaped tail which is about half of its body length, colored with a bluish line around the perimeter and two markings in the center of the pattern. The top of its body is a bluish color, while its underbelly is a pale cream color. Qwilfish has large pink lips.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
The spines that cover its body are filled with a toxin which is known to cause fainting. It is able to fire these spines from its body by swallowing large amounts of water. This ability also makes this Pokémon appear bigger than it actually is, making it less vulnerable to predator attacks.
Behavior
When faced with a larger opponent, Qwilfish swallows as much water as it can to match the opponent's size. Qwilfish also finds swimming somewhat challenging, due to its round form.
Habitat
Qwilfish lives in a marine environment.

Trivia
Origin
Qwilfish is based on both pufferfish and porcupinefish. Its ability to shoot its toxic quills somewhat resembles explosions, which could mean it may have been based on a naval mine.
Name origin
Qwilfish is a combination of quill and fish.
Harysen may be a shortening of 針千本 harisenbon (porcupinefish). An early version of Qwilfish was called Bukū, which may be a corruption of 河豚 fugu (pufferfish).
