Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| X / Omega Ruby | Opponents who stare at the flashing of the light-emitting spots on its body become dazed and lose their will to fight. |
| Y / Alpha Sapphire | It flashes the light-emitting spots on its body, which drains its opponent’s will to fight. It takes the opportunity to scuttle away and hide. |
| Ultra Sun | It draws prey near with its blinking lights and then wraps them up in its long tentacles and holds them in place. |
| Ultra Moon | When exchanging information with others of its kind, it flashes the light-emitting spots on its body in a complex rhythm. |

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.
