Pokédex entries

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

Diamond / X / Omega RubyWhen it folds up its body and extends its wings, it looks like a jet plane. It flies at sonic speed.
Pearl / Y / Alpha SapphireIt flies at speeds equal to a jet fighter plane. It never allows its prey to escape.
Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2It is said that when one runs at high speed, its wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees.
HeartGold / SoulSilverIts body is covered in fine scales that reduce drag, enabling it to fly at high speeds.
SunIt can fly at speeds rivaling jet planes. It dives into flocks of bird Pokémon and gulps the entire flock down whole.
MoonThe protuberances on its head serve as sensors. It can even detect distant prey.
Ultra SunIt flies at the speed of sound while searching for prey, and it has midair battles with Salamence as the two compete for food.
Ultra MoonIts fine scales don’t just reduce wind resistance—their sharp edges also cause injury to any opponent who attacks it.

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.
