Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Sun | It’s considered to be a good Pokémon for beginners because of its friendliness, but its disposition grows rougher as it grows up. |
| Moon | This Pokémon has lived with people since times long ago. It can sense when its Trainer is in the dumps and will stick close by its Trainer’s side. |
| Ultra Sun | As they develop, their disposition grows more violent and aggressive. Many Trainers find them too much to handle and abandon them. |
| Ultra Moon | When it rubs the rocks on its neck against you, that’s proof of its love for you. However, the rocks are sharp, so the gesture is quite painful! |

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.
