Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Sun | When it unleashes its psychic power from the protuberance on its head, the grating sound of grinding teeth echoes through the area. |
| Moon | It stuns its prey with psychokinesis and then grinds them to mush with its strong teeth. Even Shellder’s shell is no match for it. |
| Ultra Sun | It burrows beneath the sand, radiating psychic power from the protuberance on its head. It waits for prey as it surveys the area. |
| Ultra Moon | Its skin is thick enough to fend off Mareanie’s spikes. With its robust teeth, Bruxish crunches up the spikes and eats them. |

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.
