Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	METAGROSS has four brains in total. Combined, the four brains can breeze through difficult calculations faster than a supercomputer. This POKéMON can float in the air by tucking in its four legs.
Sapphire	METAGROSS is the result of two METANG achieving fusion. When hunting, this POKéMON pins the prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using the large mouth on its stomach.
Emerald	METAGROSS has four brains that are joined by a complex neural network. As a result of integration, this POKéMON is smarter than a supercomputer.
FireRed LeafGreen	It is formed by two METANG fusing. Its four brains are said to be superior to a supercomputer.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	METANG combined to form it. With four brains, it has the intelligence of a supercomputer.
HeartGold SoulSilver	It folds its four legs when flying. Its four brains are said to be superior to a supercomputer.
Black 2 White 2	With four linked brains, it’s more intelligent than a supercomputer, and it uses calculations to analyze foes.
