Pokedex descriptions
| Ruby | NINJASK moves around at such a high speed that it cannot be seen, even while its crying can be clearly heard. For that reason, this POKéMON was long believed to be invisible. |
|---|---|
| Sapphire | If NINJASK is not trained properly, it will refuse to obey the TRAINER and cry loudly continuously. Because of this quality, this POKéMON is said to be one that puts the TRAINER’s abilities to the test. |
| Emerald | Because it darts about vigorously at high speed, it is very difficult to see. Hearing its distinctive cries for too long induces a headache. |
| FireRed LeafGreen |
This POKéMON is so quick, it is said to be able to avoid any attack. It loves to feed on tree sap. |
| Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White Black 2 White 2 |
Because it moves so quickly, it sometimes becomes unseeable. It congregates around tree sap. |
| HeartGold SoulSilver |
Its cry leaves a lasting headache if heard for too long. It moves so quickly that it is almost invisible. |
