Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Diamond / X / Omega Ruby | To shelter itself from cold, wintry winds, it covers itself with a cloak made of twigs and leaves. |
| Pearl / Y / Alpha Sapphire | If its cloak is broken in battle, it quickly remakes the cloak with materials nearby. |
| Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2 | Even if it is born where there are no cocooning materials, it somehow always ends up with a cloak. |
| HeartGold / SoulSilver | It covers itself with a cloak to shelter from the cold. When it’s hot, its cloak is thinner. |

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.
