All 8 Starfish and Sea Urchin Pokémon
Each Pokémon is here because its lore page on pokee.si says it is based on or inspired by starfish, sea urchins and their relatives, or looks like them. Game Freak does not always say what inspired a design, so some of these are well-supported readings, not official facts.
