Pokedex descriptions

Gold
LeafGreen
HeartGold
The tip of its tail, which contains oil that is lighter than water, lets it swim without drowning.
Silver
FireRed
SoulSilver
The end of its tail serves as a buoy that keeps it from drowning, even in a vicious current.
Crystal The fur on its body naturally repels water. It can stay dry, even when it plays in the water.
Ruby MARILL’s oil-filled tail acts much like a life preserver. If you see just its tail bobbing on the water’s surface, it’s a sure indication that this POKéMON is diving beneath the water to feed on aquatic plants.
Sapphire When fishing for food at the edge of a fast-running stream, MARILL wraps its tail around the trunk of a tree. This POKéMON’s tail is flexible and configured to stretch.
Emerald Its body is covered with water-repellent fur. Because of the fur, it can swim through water at high speed without being slowed by the water’s resistance.
Diamond Using its tail as a float, it dives underwater. It likes eating plants that grow on river bottoms.
Pearl The tip of its tail is filled with oil that is lighter than water, so it acts as a float.
Platinum
Black
White
The oil-filled end of its tail floats on water. It keeps Marill from drowning even in a strong current.
Black 2
White 2
The oil-filled tail functions as a buoy, so it’s fine even in rivers with strong currents.
