Pokedex descriptions

Gold LeafGreen HeartGold	The light it emits is so bright that it can illuminate the sea’s surface from a depth of over three miles.
Silver FireRed	It blinds prey with an intense burst of light, then swallows the immobilized prey in a single gulp.
Crystal	This POKéMON uses the bright part of its body, which changed from a dorsal fin, to lure prey.
Ruby	LANTURN is nicknamed “the deep-sea star” for its illuminated antenna. This POKéMON produces light by causing a chemical reaction between bacteria and its bodily fluids inside the antenna.
Sapphire	LANTURN is known to emit light. If you peer down into the dark sea from a ship at night, you can sometimes see this POKéMON’s light rising from the depths where it swims. It gives the sea an appearance of a starlit night.
Emerald	The light-emitting orbs on its back are very bright. They are formed from a part of its dorsal fin. This POKéMON illuminates the inky darkness of deep seas.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	LANTURN’s light can shine up from great depths. It is nicknamed “The Deep-Sea Star.”
SoulSilver	It blinds prey with an intense burst of light. With the prey incapacitated, the Pokémon swallows it in a single gulp.
Black 2 White 2	Lanturn’s light can shine up from great depths. It is nicknamed “The Deep-Sea Star.”
