Pokedex descriptions

Gold LeafGreen HeartGold	It lies still in the same pose for days in its web, waiting for its unsuspecting prey to wander close.
Silver SoulSilver	It spins a web using fine--but durable--thread. It then waits patiently for prey to be trapped.
Crystal	If prey becomes ensnared in its nest of spun string, it waits motionlessly until it becomes dark.
Ruby Sapphire	The web spun by SPINARAK can be considered its second nervous system. It is said that this POKéMON can determine what kind of prey is touching its web just by the tiny vibrations it feels through the web’s strands.
Emerald	The web it spins can be considered its second nervous system. It is said that a SPINARAK determines its prey by the tiny vibrations it feels through the web.
FireRed	It spins a web using fine --but durable-- thread. It then waits patiently for prey to be trapped.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White Black 2 White 2	It sets a trap by spinning a web with thin but strong silk. It waits motionlessly for prey to arrive.
