Pokedex descriptions

Red Blue	The dust-like scales covering its wings are color coded to indicate the kinds of poison it has.
Yellow	The powdery scales on its wings are hard to remove. They also contain poison that leaks out on contact.
Gold	When it attacks, it flaps its large wings violently to scatter its poisonous powder all around.
Silver	The powder on its wings is poisonous if it is dark in color. If it is light, it causes paralysis.
Crystal	The scales it scatters will paralyze anyone who touches them, making that person unable to stand.
Ruby Sapphire	VENOMOTH is nocturnal - it is a POKéMON that only becomes active at night. Its favorite prey are small insects that gather around streetlights, attracted by the light in the darkness.
