JellicentPhantom Forces #21 Pokémon Card

Jellicent, the Floating Pokémon, is a Water/Ghost-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V. It is the evolved form of Frillish, with male and female Jellicent having distinct appearances. Male Jellicent are blue and have a more regal, crown-like headpiece, while female Jellicent are pink and boast a more ornate, frilly collar. These Pokémon are known for their mysterious and somewhat sinister nature, often depicted as luring ships and their crews to their doom in deep waters, creating a "castle of ships" from the sunken vessels. They are said to be composed mostly of seawater, giving them their ethereal, floating quality. In the games, Jellicent’s unique typing provides it with interesting resistances and weaknesses, making it a strategic choice for many trainers. Its Ghost typing allows it to bypass Normal and Fighting-type attacks, while its Water typing grants it STAB (Same-Type Attack Bonus) on powerful Water moves. In the anime, Jellicent have appeared in various episodes, often playing roles that highlight their predatory and territorial instincts. Their design, inspired by jellyfish and regal figures, contributes to their distinct cultural significance within the Pokémon world, symbolizing both beauty and danger of the ocean depths.
