Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue	The female's horn develops slowly. Prefers physical attacks such as clawing and biting.
Yellow	When resting deep in its burrow, its thorns always retract. This is proof that it is relaxed.
Gold	When feeding its young, it first chews and tenderizes the food, then spits it out for the offspring.
Silver SoulSilver	It has a calm and caring nature. Because its horn grows slowly, it prefers not to fight.
Crystal	It has a docile nature. If it is threatened with attack, it raises the barbs that are all over its body.
Ruby Sapphire	When NIDORINA are with their friends or family, they keep their barbs tucked away to prevent hurting each other. This POKéMON appears to become nervous if separated from the others.
Emerald	When it is with its friends or family, its barbs are tucked away to prevent injury. It appears to become nervous if separated from the others.
FireRed	The female has a gentle temperament. It emits ultrasonic cries that have the power to befuddle foes.
LeafGreen	The female's horns develop slowly. Prefers physical attacks such as clawing and biting.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	When it senses danger, it raises all the barbs on its body. These barbs grow slower than NIDORINO's.
HeartGold	When feeding its young, it first chews the food into a paste, then spits it out for the offspring.
