Flavor Info

Pokédex Entries

Schools of Finolt gather near busy public beaches to watch people splash and play in the water. They like cavorting alongside the beachgoers but will quickly scatter if approached directly.

Finolt like to play on beaches all day long, hopping and leaving hoofprints in the sand. They won't return to the water until the tide comes in and they have no choice but to be carried out to sea.

Design History

(click thumbnail to enlarge.)

Finolt 2.0 (2017): I had originally wanted to avoid the obvious hippocampus design for these guys, but they never stood out much from other equine Pokémon, so I gave the 'sea horse' angle a go. Probably ultimately for the best.

Finolt 1.0 (c. 2009): Finolt was first posted with Faelan's reveal in 2010, but I think the idea is at least a year older than that? Fun fact: that 2010 debut was actually as Faelan's water starter! You can see its missing middle stage here.
