Appearance: instead of residing in watery places, these Wishiwashi fills the open air in Ultra Space. They are far more tiny and cowardly than their overworld counterparts, barely visible to the naked eye as sparkling shards which reflects light at times as they swim freely.
When endangered, countless of these tiny organisms flock to one another, forming a school even more massive than the Wishiwashi outside of Ultra Space. Some scientists have estimated that an average school of these Wishiwashi consists of over 3 billion species. When schooling, they appear as a massive ghostly purple whale. Their cowardly nature have not changed however, and if they are hit by a super-effective attack, they will scatter and dissipate back into solo forms and scatter away at an impossibly high speed.
Place in Competitive: because of wishiwashi's ridiculously high bulk, in almost all cases it would be impossible to kill it in its School form. However, due to its ability if it's hit by even the weakest of -Ghost or -Steel attack it will revert to its solo form, with no way of ever hoping to return to its titanic School form. It's not all over if Wishiwashi is hit by a super effective attack though, as with its new move Memento it can still cripple its opponent for its teammates. While in School Form, it's access to perfect coverage just from its dual STABs make this thing a devastating mon to wall, and it's access to Volt Switch allows it to pivot out on a predicted switch. Despite all of its positive aspects, Wishiwashi is extremely predictable. Opposing Wishiwashi will usually switch out not wanting to take a super-effective move which can be easily punished by doubling.
