Pokedex descriptions

Black	When attacked, it escapes by shooting cotton from its body. The cotton serves as a decoy to distract the attacker.
White	They go wherever the wind takes them. On rainy days, their bodies are heavier, so they take shelter beneath big trees.
Black 2 White 2	Perhaps because they feel more at ease in a group, they stick to others they find. They end up looking like a cloud.
