Diamond / Pearl / Platinum / Black / White / Black 2 / White 2 / X	The leaves that grow on its arms can slice down thick trees. It is without peer in jungle combat.
HeartGold / SoulSilver / Y	It agilely leaps about the jungle and uses the sharp leaves on its arms to strike its prey.

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.
