Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	LAIRON tempers its steel body by drinking highly nutritious mineral springwater until it is bloated. This POKéMON makes its nest close to springs of delicious water.
Sapphire	LAIRON feeds on iron contained in rocks and water. It makes its nest on mountains where iron ore is buried. As a result, the POKéMON often clashes with humans mining the iron ore.
Emerald	When two LAIRON meet in the wild, they fight for territory by bashing into each other with their steel bodies. The sound of their collision carries for miles.
FireRed LeafGreen	It habitually shows off its strength with the size of sparks it creates by ramming its steel body into boulders.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	For food, it digs up iron ore. It smashes its steely body against others to fight over territory.
HeartGold SoulSilver	It loves iron ore. Groups of them fight for territory by bashing one another with their steel bodies.
Black 2 White 2	Lairon fight over territory, and when their steel bodies collide, sparks fly.
