Read more ↓Horsea, the Dragon Pokémon, is a beloved Water-type creature first introduced in Generation I. It is known for its graceful swimming and its ability to camouflage itself within coral reefs and sea grass. Horsea are often found in warm, shallow waters, where they feed on small insects and crustaceans. They are particularly famous for their unique defensive mechanism: when threatened, Horsea can shoot a powerful blast of ink from their mouths, disorienting predators and allowing them to escape. This ink is also used to hunt, precisely targeting flying bugs from the water's surface. Horsea evolves into Seadra, and later into Kingdra with the aid of a Dragon Scale, showcasing a fascinating evolution line that culminates in a powerful Dragon/Water type. In the games, Horsea is a common sight in coastal areas, and its evolution, Kingdra, is a formidable opponent. In the anime, Misty, one of Ash's companions, owns a Horsea, highlighting its gentle nature and its surprising combat capabilities. Horsea's design, based on a seahorse, makes it an iconic and recognizable Pokémon, embodying the beauty and mystery of the underwater world. Its role in both the games and anime has cemented its place as a fan favorite, representing the early charm of the Pokémon franchise.
