Pokédex entries

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

Diamond / Y / Alpha SapphireThe three horns that extend from its beak attest to its power. The leader has the biggest horns.
Pearl / X / Omega RubyIt swims as fast as a jet boat. The edges of its wings are sharp and can slice apart drifting ice.
Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2If anyone were to hurt its pride, it would slash them with wings that can cleave through an ice floe.
HeartGold / SoulSilverIt avoids unnecessary disputes, but it will decimate anything that threatens its pride.

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.
