Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue	The SHELLDER that is latched onto SLOWPOKE's tail is said to feed on the host's left over scraps.
Yellow	Lives lazily by the sea. If the SHELLDER on its tail comes off, it becomes a SLOWPOKE again.
Gold HeartGold	If the tail-biting SHELLDER is thrown off in a harsh battle, it reverts to being an ordinary SLOWPOKE.
Silver SoulSilver	Naturally dull to begin with, it lost its ability to feel pain due to SHELLDER's seeping poison.
Crystal	An attached SHELLDER won't let go because of the tasty flavor that oozes out of its tail.
Ruby Sapphire	SLOWBRO's tail has a SHELLDER firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can't be used for fishing anymore. This causes SLOWBRO to grudgingly swim and catch prey instead.
Emerald	Its tail has a SHELLDER firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can't be used for fishing anymore. This forces it to reluctantly swim and catch prey.
FireRed	When a SLOWPOKE went hunting in the sea, its tail was bitten by a SHELLDER. That made it evolve into SLOWBRO.
LeafGreen	The SHELLDER that latches onto SLOWPOKE's tail is said to feed on the host's leftover scraps.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	Though usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the SHELLDER on its tail bites down.
