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

Black / X / Omega RubyProtected by a hard shell, it spins its body like a wheel and crashes furiously into its enemies.
White / Y / Alpha SapphireIt is usually motionless, but when attacked, it rotates at high speed and then crashes into its opponent.
Black 2 / White 2Storing energy for evolution, it sits. But, when predators approach, it moves to stab them with poison spikes.

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.
