Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue LeafGreen	Thickly covered with a filthy, vile sludge. It is so toxic, even its footprints contain poison.
Yellow	Smells so awful, it can cause fainting. Through degeneration, it lost its sense of smell.
Gold	They love to gather in smelly areas where sludge accumulates, making the stench around them worse.
Silver	Its body is made of a powerful poison. Touching it accidentally will cause a fever that requires bed rest.
Crystal	As it moves, a very strong poison leaks from it, making the ground there barren for three years.
Ruby	From MUK's body seeps a foul fluid that gives off a nose-bendingly horrible stench. Just one drop of this POKéMON's body fluid can turn a pool stagnant and rancid.
Sapphire	This POKéMON's favorite food is anything that is repugnantly filthy. In dirty towns where people think nothing of throwing away litter on the streets, MUK are certain to gather.
Emerald	It prefers warm and humid habitats. In the summertime, the toxic substances in its body intensify, making MUK reek like putrid kitchen garbage.
FireRed	It is usually undetectable because it blends in with the ground. Touching it can cause terrible poisoning.
Diamond Pearl Platinum	A toxic fluid seeps from its body. The fluid instantly kills plants and trees on contact.
