It grows by molting repeatedly. Boots made from the tanned cast-off skin are a super luxury item.
After a 10-hour struggle, a fisherman was able to pull one up and confirm its existence.
It’s still weak, so it lurks on the floor of bodies of water, eating whatever food sinks down and living a quiet life.
It sheds its skin—almost on a daily basis—and grows larger. Its skin is soft just after it’s been shed.
Long thought to be a myth, this Pokémon’s existence was only recently confirmed by a fisherman who caught one.

Dratini dwells near bodies of rapidly flowing water, such as the plunge pools of waterfalls. As it grows, Dratini will shed its skin many times.
This Pokémon was long considered to be no more than a myth. The small lump on a Dratini’s forehead is actually a horn that’s still coming in.
