EmeraldAn abandoned plush doll became this POKéMON. They are said to live in garbage dumps and wander about in search of the children that threw them away.
FireRed / LeafGreenStrong feelings of hatred turned a puppet into a POKéMON. If it opens its mouth, its cursed energy escapes.
Diamond / Pearl / Platinum / Black / White / XA doll that became a Pokémon over its grudge from being junked. It seeks the child that disowned it.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
