Pokédex description[]

Balloon Pokémon
Standard Pokédex description
Qwilfish sucks in water, inflating itself. This Pokémon uses the pressure of the water it swallowed to shoot toxic quills all at once from all over its body. It finds swimming somewhat challenging.
- Qwilfish's cry
Hisuian Qwilfish Pokédex description
Fishers detest this troublesome Pokémon because it sprays poison from its spines, getting it everywhere. A different form of Qwilfish lives in other regions.
