A moderate-sized giant slug was found in the Sinnoh region. It shows allotropic specifications (same species but different appearances). The West Sea form is brown & pink, with bumps and pink spots on its back. It has four tentacles on its head, resembling rhinophores and oral tentacles. The East Sea variant is green and turquoise. Its rhinophores are wavy and pointed back instead of upward, and it lacks oral tentacles. It has turquoise spots on its back, as well as a yellow ridge that forms a fin. Both forms have three oval-shaped black eyes and a yellow stripe that forms the edge of the mantle skirt.

Gastrodon has high defense and useful regenerative abilities, but it is not valued for its speed (considering it is a slug).

Long ago, Gastrodon had a shell, but over time it lost this trait. It now has a thin but solid vestigial plate on its back. It has no bones, but its soft body is surprisingly resistant to attacks. It can also regrow any portion of its body that is severed. Its main form of defense is a purple fluid it can secrete when pursued by predators. The fluid is incredibly sticky and causes Gastrodon to become bitter and inedible. This ability is reminiscent of the real-life sea hare’s defense mechanism. It is a relative of Shellder and Cloyster.

Gastrodon has a max Combat Power (CP) of 2628 and evolves from Shellos which costs 50 candy. The best moves of Gastrodon are Mud-Slap and Earth Power.
