Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Sun | The shell on its back is chemically unstable and explodes violently if struck. The hole in its stomach is its weak point. |
| Moon | It gushes fire and poisonous gases from its nostrils. Its dung is an explosive substance and can be put to various uses. |
| Ultra Sun | It lives in volcanoes and eats sulfur and other minerals. Materials from the food it eats form the basis of its explosive shell. |
| Ultra Moon | Its exploding shell poses a real danger but is sensitive to moisture. On rainy days, Turtonator takes silent refuge in caves. |

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.
