Evolution

This Pokémon does not evolve.

Abilities

Water Absorb

Whenever a Water-type move hits this Pokémon, it heals for 1/4 of its maximum HP, negating any other effect on it. Water moves will ignore this Pokémon's Substitute.

Chlorophyll

This Pokémon's Speed is doubled during strong sunlight. This bonus does not count as a stat modifier.

Storm DrainHidden

All other Pokémon's single-target Water-type moves are redirected to this Pokémon, if it is an eligible target. Other Pokémon's Water moves raise this Pokémon's Special Attack one stage, negating any other effect on it, and cannot miss it. If the move's intended target also has this ability, the move is not redirected. When multiple Pokémon with this ability are possible targets for redirection, the move is redirected to the one with the highest Speed stat, or, in the case of a tie, to a random tied Pokémon. Follow Me takes precedence over this ability.
