Wishiwashi

() is a -type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wishiwashi is a small blue-and-white fish Pokémon. It has bright blue markings on its flanks, white teardrop-shaped patterns on its sides and its large eyes have blue puddle-shaped pupils inside.
In its School Form, Wishiwashi combines with numerous others to create a school shaped like a much larger fish. The individual fish in the school are much less detailed, and are of varying shades of blue with glowing eyes.
===Behavior===
Small and weak on its own, Wishiwashi is targeted by many predators that see it as an easy meal. In order to defend itself, large numbers of Wishiwashi come together into their massive and terrifying School Form, and their combined power surpasses that of even Gyarados. Alolan sea folk fear Wishiwashi, speaking of it as the "demon of the sea". However, even in large schools Wishiwashi still falls prey to Wailord.

==Trivia==
*When its health drops below 20%, Wishiwashi reverts to its Solo form.
*Wishiwashi is similar to Magikarp in that it is a small, weak fish Pokémon that turns into a more powerful form dreaded and feared by many. However, in Wishiwashi's case, its larger form is merely due to schooling and not an actual evolution.
*Wishiwashi Solo Form has the worst Base Stat Total and Base Stat Average with its Total being 175 and its Average being 29.17.
*Out of all Pokémon that undergo a form change, Wishiwashi has the greatest stat change. Its Solo Form, with a BST of 175, gets a stat boost of 445, growing its BST to 620.
===Origin===
Wishiwashi's Solo Form is based on a sardine or other small schooling fish. The white pattern going across its body resembles water or tear drops. Its large eye and ability to make its tears shine may reference the lanternfish, which have a similar body shape and are able to glow using bioluminescence.
While in its School Form, it resembles a submarine, shark, or Dunkleosteus. This form change also references how schools of fish band together in large numbers to deter and confuse predators or appear bigger.
Wishiwashi's orange Shiny coloration may reference canned sardines, as they usually grow a yellowish-orange color due to oxidation.
===Etymology===
Wishiwashi is a play on the term "wishy-washy", meaning to lack strength (which may refer to its Solo form). It may also incorporate "fishy", "wash", and iwashi (Japanese for "sardine").
Its Japanese name, Yowashi, may come from yowai (weak), iwashi (sardine), and yowayowashii (frail).
===Names in other languages===
*Its French name, Froussardine, comes from froussard (cowardly) and sardine.
