Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

DiamondIt agilely scales sheer cliffs to live atop craggy mountains. Its fire is put out when it sleeps.
Pearl / X / Omega RubyIts fiery rear end is fueled by gas made in its belly. Even rain can’t extinguish the fire.
Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2It is very agile. Before going to sleep, it extinguishes the flame on its tail to prevent fires.
HeartGold / SoulSilver / Y / Alpha SapphireThe gas made in its belly burns from its rear end. The fire burns weakly when it feels sick.

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.
