Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Diamond / Y / Alpha Sapphire | The aura that emanates from its body intensifies to alert others if it is afraid or sad. |
| Pearl | Its body is lithe yet powerful. It can crest three mountains and cross two canyons in one night. |
| Platinum / Black / White | It has the peculiar power of being able to see emotions such as joy and rage in the form of waves. |
| HeartGold / SoulSilver | They communicate with one another using their auras. They are able to run all through the night. |
| Black 2 / White 2 / X / Omega Ruby | It uses the shapes of auras, which change according to emotion, to communicate with others. |
| Sun | It can discern the physical and emotional states of people, Pokémon, and other natural things from the shape of their aura waves. |
| Moon | It’s tough enough to run right through the night, and it’s also a hard worker, but it’s still just a youngster. |
| Ultra Sun | It knows how people and Pokémon feel by looking at their auras. It doesn’t approach dangerous opponents. |
| Ultra Moon | It uses waves called auras to communicate with others of its kind. It doesn’t make any noise during this time, so its enemies can’t detect it. |

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.
