Veluza (Japanese:ミガルーサMigalusa) is a dual-typeWater/PsychicPokémon introduced inGeneration IX.

It is not known toevolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Veluza is a fishlike Pokémon with a gray body;pointy, translucent, bright magenta fins; and red eyes. It has thin blue lines running the length of its body from its eyes, and its mouth is typically open, displaying several sharp teeth. Veluza's fins extend underneath its flesh, to the center of its body; inside is also a row of diamond-shaped spikes similar to a backbone on either side, with three of these spikes being longer and protruding out from Veluza's flesh.

Veluza's main method of hunting comes from its ability to shed its own flesh, via itssignature moveFillet Away. This boosts its offensive prowess and psychic power, as well as its agility, giving it an easier time when chasing down and tearing apart prey. It can grow back its lost flesh due to its excellent regenerative capabilities. The discarded flesh has a mild yet delicious flavor.

Veluza may be a combination ofveloz (Spanish and Portuguese for fast) andmerluza (Spanish for hake).

Migalusa may be a combination of 身軽migaru (nimble) andmerluza.
