Pokedex descriptions

Gold HeartGold	Its sturdy wings look heavy, but they are actually hollow and light, allowing it to fly freely in the sky.
Silver FireRed SoulSilver	After nesting in bramble bushes, the wings of its chicks grow hard from scratches by thorns.
Crystal	The feathers that it sheds are very sharp. It is said that people once used the feathers as swords.
Ruby	SKARMORY is entirely encased in hard, protective armor. This POKéMON flies at close to 190 mph. It slashes foes with its wings that possess swordlike cutting edges.
Sapphire	SKARMORY's steel wings become tattered and bashed in from repeated battles. Once a year, the battered wings grow back completely, restoring the cutting edges to their pristine state.
Emerald	A POKéMON that has a body and wings of steel. People in the past used feathers fallen from SKARMORY to make swords and knives.
LeafGreen	Its sturdy wings look heavy, but its bones are hollow and light, allowing it to fly freely in the sky.
Diamond Pearl Black White	Despite being clad entirely in iron-hard armor, it flies at speeds over 180 mph.
