Gorebyss (Japanese: サクラビス Sakurabyss) is a Water-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Ruby
Gorebyss lives in the southern seas at extreme depths. Its body is built to withstand the enormous pressure of water at incredible depths. Because of this, this Pokémon's body is unharmed by ordinary attacks.
Pokémon Emerald
A Gorebyss siphons the body fluids of prey through its thin, tubular mouth. Its light pink body color turns vivid when it finishes feeding.

Name origin

Gorebyss's name is a combination of gore, to stab, and byss, referring to filaments mollusks use to attach themselves to rocks. Its name could also possibly be a play on gorgeous. Another explanation could lie with the words abyss and the abyssal zone. Gorebyss's descriptions seem to confirm this view. Its Japanese name is derived from the Japanese sakura, cherry blossom, possibly referring to its pink color, and the aforementioned byss.

Gorebyss may have been based on a hagfish.
