Pokedex descriptions

Diamond It’s drowzy in daytime, but flies off in the evening in big groups. No one knows where they go.
Pearl It carries people and Pokémon when it flies. But since it only drifts, it can end up anywhere.
Platinum
Black
White
At dusk, swarms of them are carried aloft on winds. When noticed, they suddenly vanish.
HeartGold
SoulSilver
It can generate and release gas within its body. That’s how it can control the altitude of its drift.
Black 2
White 2
They carry people and Pokémon, but the wind can catch them, so there can’t be a fixed destination.
