The Deep Sea Scale (Japanese: しんかいのウロコ Deep-Sea Scale), formatted DeepSeaScale prior to Generation VI and Deepseascale in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, is a type of held item introduced in Generation III. It allows Clamperl to evolve into Gorebyss, and also boosts the Special Defense of a Clamperl that holds it.
