Appearance In animation A Deep Sea Scale in Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire Pokémon the Series A Deep Sea Tooth and a Deep Sea Scale appeared in The Evolutionary War Keith and Nancy 's Clamperl into a Huntail and a Gorebyss , respectively. In this episode, Deep Sea Scales were revealed to be found on Island B of the A-B-C Islands .
A Deep Sea Scale appeared in Showdown At Linoone Tokin had picked up .
Trivia In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl , when pluralized or prefixed with the indefinite article , this item's name is rendered with a lowercase 's' ("DeepseaScales" and "a DeepseaScale", respectively). In Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver , both of these instances are corrected to display with a capital 'S' ("DeepSeaScales" and "a DeepSeaScale", respectively), matching how the item's name would normally be rendered.
In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver , it is possible to obtain a DeepSeaScale before obtaining the National Pokédex , by either catching a wild Chinchou holding the item, or stealing one from it with a move such as Thief or Covet , despite there being no use for it at that point (outside of trading ), as the item's effects only benefit Clamperl , which cannot be obtained before obtaining the National Pokédex.
As the item's description mentions Clamperl, this is the only way to see the name of a Pokémon not present in the Johto Pokédex before obtaining the National Pokédex, outside of the Battle Frontier (which only requires entering the Hall of Fame , not obtaining the National Pokédex) and external communication with other games.
