You don't need to worry, it's not sick at all. Your Wailmer is what we call 'a shiny'. It happens in every species of pokemon. For some reason, there are some members that have different colours than the norm. It is incredibly rare, and it is probably genetic to some degree, as dedicated breeding can occasionally lead to a pokemon passing on that trait. You're really lucky. Finding a shiny pokemon in the wild is really rare.
[A soft, happy noise.]
And it's a Wailmer too. I've never even seen a shiny one before. Aren't they incredible? Is it a boy or a girl? Where did you catch it?
