Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	DUSTOX is instinctively drawn to light. Swarms of this POKéMON are attracted by the bright lights of cities, where they wreak havoc by stripping the leaves off roadside trees for food.
Sapphire	When DUSTOX flaps its wings, a fine dust is scattered all over. This dust is actually a powerful poison that will even make a pro wrestler sick. This POKéMON searches for food using its antennae like radar.
Emerald	It is a nocturnal POKéMON that flies from fields and mountains to the attraction of streetlights at night. It looses highly toxic powder from its wings.
FireRed LeafGreen	It scatters horribly toxic dust when it senses danger. They tend to gather in the glow of streetlamps at night.
Diamond	A nocturnal Pokémon. Drawn by streetlights, they messily eat the leaves of trees lining boulevards.
Pearl	It violently flutters its wings to scatter toxic dust when attacked. It becomes active after sunset.
Platinum Black White	Toxic powder is scattered with each flap. At night, it is known to strip leaves off trees lining boulevards.
HeartGold SoulSilver	It scatters its fine dust all over when it is attacked. It is a nocturnal Pokémon.
