Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	CARVANHA’s strongly developed jaws and its sharply pointed fangs pack the destructive power to rip out boat hulls. Many boats have been attacked and sunk by this POKéMON.
Sapphire	If anything invades CARVANHA’s territory, it will swarm and tear at the intruder with its pointed fangs. On its own, however, this POKéMON turns suddenly timid.
Emerald	CARVANHA attack ships in swarms, making them sink. Although it is said to be a very vicious POKéMON, it timidly flees as soon as it finds itself alone.
FireRed LeafGreen	It lives in massive rivers that course through jungles. It swarms prey that enter its territory.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White Black 2 White 2	They swarm any foe that invades their territory. Their sharp fangs can tear out boat hulls.
HeartGold SoulSilver	They form packs to attack boats and rip out their hulls to sink them. They live in rivers in the jungle.
