Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Diamond / X / Omega Ruby | It lives along water in forests. In the daytime, it leaves the forest to sunbathe its treed shell. |
| Pearl | The shell is hardened soil. Some Pokémon come to peck the berries growing on the trees on its back. |
| Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2 / Y / Alpha Sapphire | It knows where pure water wells up. It carries fellow Pokémon there on its back. |
| HeartGold / SoulSilver | A GROTLE that lives in the forest is said to have its own secret springwater. |

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.
