How to unlock Horsea in PokeBonk
Horsea joins your League in two steps. First, finish its League challenge; the counters add up across runs unless a goal says "in a single run":
- Soak 12,000 Pokemon.
Catching Horsea
Then Horsea can show up as a Wild Encounter in your next runs, 50 to 120 seconds into a zone. It runs away after 150 seconds, so weaken it and throw a Poke Ball before then. The PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists every challenge.
Horsea moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Snipe Shot | Water | Special | Projectile | Start | 17 | 0.92 s |
| 2 | Octazooka | Water | Special | Explosive orb | Level 2 | 19 | 1.33 s |
| 3 | Scale Shot | Dragon | Physical | Burst | Level 4 | 5 | 0.98 s |
| 4 | Hydro Cannon | Water | Special | Bolt | Level 7 | 12 | 2.33 s |
Horsea passive: Ink
+10% crit and +25% crit damage. Your crits cover the enemy in ink and blind it (charm: it deals -40% damage).
Snipe Shot, Octazooka, and Hydro Cannon match Horsea's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Horsea Ultimate in PokeBonk
Horsea's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horsea | Ink Cloud | 1.4 s | You spit a 12 m cloud of ink that blinds everyone (charm) and fire twelve ink balls in all directions. |
| Seadra | Dragon Whirlwind | 2.6 s | The ink, two whirlpools advancing toward your target and a dragon water jet falling from the sky on the strongest enemy. |

Horsea stats in runs

Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Horsea | 0 | 97 | 10.1 | 1.07x | 0.98x | 1.1x | 1x |
| Seadra | 1 | 116 | 9.6 | 1.06x | 1x | 1.08x | 1.12x |
