Huntail (Japanese: ハンテール Huntail) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation III.
It evolves from Clamperl when traded while holding a Deep Sea Tooth. It is one of Clamperl's final forms, the other being Gorebyss.
Biology
Huntail is a light-blue, aquatic Pokémon with a serpentine body. Orange, semi-circular fins run the length of its spine, and there are two additional fins on the underside of its lower jaw. A large, fan-like fin projects from the top of its head. White spots that are surrounded by orange rings, resembling its eyes, dot its body. It attracts its prey by wagging its fish-shaped tail, which features glowing eye-spots, a single dorsal fin, and a single pectoral fin. Huntail's large mouth features sharp teeth and allows it to gulp its prey whole.
Huntail swims by wiggling its body, though it is not the strongest swimmer. Its sturdy spine and large eyes allows it to survive in the high pressures and darkness of the deep sea. According to tradition, Huntail washing ashore is a sign that something unfortunate will happen.
Evolution
Huntail evolves from Clamperl and is one of its final forms, the other being Gorebyss.

Trivia
- Despite being a pure Water-type Pokémon, it bears a Dark-type Poké Assist in Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.
- From Generations IV to VII, Huntail is unable to learn Iron Defense via Move Tutor, while its pre-evolution can.
Origin
Huntail appears to have been based on the gulper eel, viperfish, onejaw, or moray eel. It also resembles the rarely seen oarfish, mainly because of its orange-colored crest and fins. Huntail's Ultra Moon Pokédex entry may be a reference to the Japanese and Taiwanese belief that beached rare fish (including oarfish) presage earthquakes or tsunamis.
Huntail's tail bears resemblence to Gorebyss's head and serves as a lure to catch prey. The orange appendage on its head might be the shell remainings inherited from Clamperl.
Name origin
Huntail may be a combination of hunt, 斑点 hanten (speck or fleck), and tail.
