Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	SABLEYE lead quiet lives deep inside caverns. They are feared, however, because these POKéMON are thought to steal the spirits of people when their eyes burn with a sinister glow in the darkness.
Sapphire	SABLEYE digs the ground with sharpened claws to find rocks that it eats. Substances in the eaten rocks crystallize and rise up to the POKéMON's body surface.
Emerald	It digs branching holes in caves using its sharp claws in search of food--raw gems. A SABLEYE lurks in darkness and is seen only rarely.
FireRed LeafGreen	It feeds on gemstone crystals. In darkness, its eyes sparkle with the glitter of jewels.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	It hides in the darkness of caves. Its diet of gems has transformed its eyes into gemstones.
HeartGold SoulSilver	It dwells in the darkness of caves. It uses its sharp claws to dig up gems to nourish itself.
