Pokédex entries
What each game says about it, in the games' own words.
| Sun | This Pokémon is a coward. As it desperately dashes off, the flailing of its many legs leaves a sparkling clean path in its wake. |
| Moon | Its habitat varies from beaches to seabeds. A natural scavenger, it will gleefully chow down on anything edible, no matter how rotten. |
| Ultra Sun | It will pick up anything it finds on the ground. Sometimes it finds coins, so Murkrow and Meowth will go after it. |
| Ultra Moon | An astonishingly cowardly Pokémon, Wimpod will whir its legs at high speeds to run away if anything comes near 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.
