Pokemon Sun And Moon Pokemon, Ranked

7 – Wimpod/Golisopod

Type: Water/Bug

Wimpod Classification: Turn Tail Pokemon

Wimpod Pokedex: This Pokémon is a coward. As it desperately dashes off, the flailing of its many legs leaves a sparkling clean path in its wake. Its habitat varies from beaches to seabeds. A natural scavenger, it will gleefully chow down on anything edible, no matter how rotten.

Golisopod Classification: Hard Scale Pokemon

Golisopod Pokedex: With a flashing slash of its giant sharp claws, it cleaves seawater—or even air—right in two. It battles skillfully with its six arms, but spends most of its time peacefully meditating in caves deep beneath the sea.

Explanation: I am not a fan of isopods at all, but I’ll be the first to admit that Golisopod is incredibly impressive, particularly in light of what it evolves from. You first encounter Wimpod around mid-game, cowering around some rocks and generally being difficult to get a grip on, since it runs away when you lower its health too much. I didn’t see it again until much later in the game, when Guzma whips out a Golisopod for a story battle. I genuinely had no idea where that big, terrifying bug thing came from when I first saw Guzma send it out. How could that possibly be the evolution of the cowardly bug I saw on the beach? I guess self-preservation pays off in the long run, a fact that the sturdy isopod and Golisopod both can attest to.
