Pokedex descriptions

Ruby DUSKULL can pass through any wall no matter how thick it may be. Once this POKéMON chooses a target, it will doggedly pursue the intended victim until the break of dawn.
Sapphire DUSKULL wanders lost among the deep darkness of midnight. There is an oft- told admonishment given to misbehaving children that this POKéMON will spirit away bad children who earn scoldings from their mothers.
Emerald A glare from its single scarlet eye makes even burly grown-ups freeze in utter fear. It is a nocturnal POKéMON that roams about under the cloak of darkness.
FireRed
LeafGreen
Making itself invisible, it silently sneaks up to prey. It has the ability to slip through thick walls.
Diamond
Pearl
It doggedly pursues its prey wherever it goes. However, the chase is abandoned at sunrise.
Platinum It loves the crying of children. It startles bad kids by passing through walls and making them cry.
HeartGold
SoulSilver
If it finds bad children who won't listen to their parents, it will spirit them away--or so it's said.
