A Deep Sea Tooth and a Deep Sea Scale appeared in The Evolutionary War. They were used to evolve Keith and Nancy's Clamperl into a Huntail and a Gorebyss, respectively. In this episode, Deep Sea Scales were revealed to be found on Island B of the A-B-C Islands.
A Deep Sea Scale appeared in Showdown At Linoone as one of the items Tokin had picked up.
Trivia
- In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, when pluralized or prefixed with the indefinite article, this item's name is rendered with a lowercase 's' ("DeepseaScales" and "a DeepseaScale", respectively). In Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, both of these instances are corrected to display with a capital 'S' ("DeepSeaScales" and "a DeepSeaScale", respectively), matching how the item's name would normally be rendered.
- In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, it is possible to obtain a DeepSeaScale before obtaining the National Pokédex, by either catching a wild Chinchou holding the item, or stealing one from it with a move such as Thief or Covet, despite there being no use for it at that point (outside of trading), as the item's effects only benefit Clamperl, which cannot be obtained before obtaining the National Pokédex.
- As the item's description mentions Clamperl, this is the only way to see the name of a Pokémon not present in the Johto Pokédex before obtaining the National Pokédex, outside of the Battle Frontier (which only requires entering the Hall of Fame, not obtaining the National Pokédex) and external communication with other games.
