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.
