Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	SLAKOTH lolls around for over twenty hours every day. Because it moves so little, it does not need much food. This POKéMON's sole daily meal consists of just three leaves.
Sapphire	SLAKOTH's heart beats just once a minute. Whatever happens, it is content to loaf around motionless. It is rare to see this POKéMON in motion.
Emerald	It sleeps virtually all day and night long. It doesn't change its nest its entire life, but it sometimes travels great distances by swimming in rivers.
FireRed LeafGreen	It sleeps for 20 hours every day. Making drowsy those that see it is one of its abilities.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	It spends nearly all its time in a day sprawled out. Just seeing it makes one drowsy.
HeartGold SoulSilver	The way SLAKOTH lolls around makes anyone who watches it feel like doing the same.
