Pokédex entries

Sword	It will bravely challenge any opponent, no matter how powerful. This Pokémon benefits from every battle—even a defeat increases its strength a bit.
Shield	Jumping nimbly about, this small-bodied Pokémon takes advantage of even the slightest opportunity to disorient larger opponents.
Scarlet	This Pokémon is brave and reckless. The white markings around a Rookidee’s eyes intimidate fainthearted Pokémon.
Violet	The females are fussier than the males. If another creature dirties a female Rookidee’s wings, it’ll peck the offender relentlessly in a burning rage.
