Pokédex entries

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

SunIt rolls up pollen into puffs. It makes many different varieties, some used as food and others used in battle.
MoonSome of Ribombee’s pollen puffs are highly nutritious. They are sometimes sold as supplements.
Ultra SunRain makes pollen damp, so Ribombee hates rain. When it sees ominous clouds, it finds a hollow in a tree, where it waits stock-still.
Ultra MoonIt can predict the weather from moisture levels and wind direction. Ribombee only reveals itself when there are a few clear days in a row.

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.
