Additionally, both can be snagged as Shadow Pokémon in Pokémon XD at the Cipher Lab, with both Pokémon having the same Shadow move, Shadow Blitz.

13. Gulpin may be based on a single, giant poison gland or even a gallbladder, the green sac-like organ that stores gastric acid. It also shares similarities with some snake species known to swallow their prey whole, though its general shape resembles a slug.

14. Gulpin could be a shortening of gulping (swallowing). It may also be a combination of gulp and sculpin, as its appearance vaguely resembles the related blobfish.

15. Multiple Gulpin debuted in Gulpin it Down, where they were eating all of the food in the harbor city Ash and his friends were in.

16. Multiple Gulpin appeared in Defending the Homeland! and Beyond the Rainbow! as Pokémon that lived in the wetlands that Ash’s Goodra was from.

They appeared once again in A Diamond in the Rough!, when Ash and his friends returned to the wetlands.

17. A Gulpin appeared in Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel as a resident of the Nebel Plateau. It was particularly close to the Volcanion guarding Nebel Plateau. Sometime ago, it had been abandoned by a Trainer whose last act before departure was to hug it.

Later, it helped Clemont to break the bonds holding Ash and Volcanion together by using Gastro Acid.
