Pokédex entries

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

Diamond / Y / Alpha Sapphire	It blasts internally stored sand from ports on its body to create a towering twister for attack.
Pearl	Its huge mouth is almost seven feet across. It has enough power to completely crush a car.
Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2	It is surprisingly quick to anger. It holds its mouth agape as a display of its strength.
HeartGold / SoulSilver / X / Omega Ruby	It brandishes its gaping mouth in a display of fearsome strength. It raises vast quantities of sand while attacking.

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.
