Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Black / X / Omega Ruby | When attacked, it escapes by shooting cotton from its body. The cotton serves as a decoy to distract the attacker. |
| White | They go wherever the wind takes them. On rainy days, their bodies are heavier, so they take shelter beneath big trees. |
| Black 2 / White 2 / Y / Alpha Sapphire | Perhaps because they feel more at ease in a group, they stick to others they find. They end up looking like a cloud. |
| Sun | When it finds others of its kind, they all stick together. When enough of them have collected, the mass resembles a cumulonimbus cloud. |
| Moon | Pillows and beds stuffed with cotton exhaled by Cottonee are soft and puffy, light and airy— altogether top quality. |
| Ultra Sun | To protect itself, it shoots cotton from its body. When it gets wet in the rain, its cotton grows moist and heavy, and it can’t move as well. |
| Ultra Moon | When attacked, it expels cotton from its body to create a diversion. The cotton it loses grows back in quickly. |

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.
