Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue	Protected by an armor-like hide, it is capable of living in molten lava of 3,600 degrees.
Yellow	Walks on its hind legs. Shows signs of intelligence. Its armor-like hide even repels molten lava.
Gold HeartGold	Its rugged hide protects it from even the heat of lava. However, the hide also makes it insensitive.
Silver SoulSilver	Its brain developed when it began walking on hind legs. Its thick hide protects it even in magma.
Crystal	By lightly spinning its drill-like horn, it can easily shatter even a diamond in the rough.
Ruby	RHYDON’s horn can crush even uncut diamonds. One sweeping blow of its tail can topple a building. This POKéMON’s hide is extremely tough. Even direct cannon hits don’t leave a scratch.
Sapphire	RHYDON has a horn that serves as a drill. It is used for destroying rocks and boulders. This POKéMON occasionally rams into streams of magma, but the armor-like hide prevents it from feeling the heat.
Emerald	Its horn, which rotates like a drill, destroys tall buildings with one strike. It stands on its hind legs, and its brain is well developed.
FireRed	It begins walking on its hind legs after evolution. It can punch holes through boulders with its horn.
LeafGreen	Protected by an armor-like hide, it is capable of living in molten lava of 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit.
Diamond Pearl	Its brain developed after it stood up on its hind legs. Its drill horn bores tunnels through solid rock.
Platinum Black White Black 2 White 2	Standing on its hind legs freed its forelegs and made it smarter. It is very forgetful, however.
