Corphish was the male Pokémon Mu Yun had mistaken for Clauncher's mate.
Only after bringing them back did Mu Yun learn they weren't a pair.
To be precise, Corphish was hopelessly devoted to Clauncher.
Then again, perhaps "hopelessly devoted shrimp" was more accurate.
Or perhaps "warrior shrimp" would do.
Because his third Ability enhancement option was called Adaptability.
[3. Adaptability: A special Mutation Enhancement born from Corphish's deepest desire to reproduce. He can ignore Egg Groups and produce offspring with any Water Type Pokémon of a different sex. The offspring will always be Corphish and will inherit any Egg Moves from both parents. Limit-Breaking Points required: 5.]
Honestly, when Mu Yun saw "ignore Egg Groups" and "different sex," he was dumbstruck.
Just how desperate and repressed was this Corphish to develop an enhancement like that?
It was a real eye-opener.
If Mu Yun bred him, researchers everywhere would have their understanding of Pokémon turned upside down.
After all, offspring had always inherited their species from the mother. No one had ever heard of them taking after the father.
But Mu Yun was only entertaining the idea. What use would he have for a Corphish like this?
Was he supposed to breed an entire population, then evolve a king of Crawdaunt from it?
Aside from Corphish, the other Water Type Pokémon were much more normal.
They had no extra options, but the Mutation Enhancements to their existing Abilities were already powerful.
Take the Mutation Enhancement offered by Staryu's Analytic Ability, for example: Super Brain.
``` [2. Super Brain: A Mutation Enhancement of the Analytic Ability. With its extraordinary brain, it can instantly break down an opponent's intentions. It can also use Psychic to release special waves in advance, disrupting the opponent's thoughts and interrupting their moves.
