Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	SWABLU has light and fluffy wings that are like cottony clouds. This POKéMON is not frightened of people. It lands on the heads of people and sits there like a cotton-fluff hat.
Sapphire	SWABLU loves to make things clean. If it spots something dirty, it will wipe and polish it with its cottony wings. If its wings become dirty, this POKéMON finds a stream and showers itself.
Emerald	A POKéMON that has wings like cottony clouds. After enduring winter, in which little food is available, SWABLU flocks move closer to towns in the spring.
FireRed LeafGreen	It constantly grooms its cotton-like wings. It takes a shower to clean itself if it becomes dirty.
Diamond Pearl	Its wings are like cotton tufts. If it perches on someone’s head, it looks like a cotton hat.
Platinum Black White	It can’t relax if it or its surroundings are not clean. It wipes off dirt with its wings.
HeartGold SoulSilver	Its wings bring cottony clouds to mind. It grooms with springwater and loves to sit on heads.
Black 2 White 2	For some reason, it likes to land on people’s heads softly and act like it’s a hat.
