Silver
FireRed
SoulSilver
It lives atop tall trees. When leaping from branch to branch, it deftly uses its tail for balance.
Crystal It uses its tail to hang on to tree branches. It uses its momentum to swing from one branch to another.
Ruby
Sapphire
AIPOM’s tail ends in a hand-like appendage that can be cleverly manipulated. However, because the POKéMON uses its tail so much, its real hands have become rather clumsy.
Emerald Its tail ends with a dexterous, handlike appendage. However, because it uses the tail so much, AIPOM’s real hands have become rather clumsy.
Diamond It uses its tail to pluck fruits that are out of reach. Its tail is more adept than its real hands.
Pearl It lives atop giant trees. It wraps its tail around a branch so it won’t fall off while asleep.
Platinum
