Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Sun | When it finds a trace of its prey, it patiently stakes out the location...but it’s always snoozing by nightfall. |
| Moon | It adores having Rattata and Raticate for dinner, but as it’s diurnal, it never encounters them. This Pokémon boasts incredible patience. |
| Ultra Sun | Although it wasn’t originally found in Alola, this Pokémon was brought over a long time ago when there was a huge Rattata outbreak. |
| Ultra Moon | Patient by nature, this Pokémon loses control of itself and pounces when it spots its favorite meal—Rattata! |

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.
