Ultra Sun In their search for comfortable trees, they get into territorial disputes with groups of Passimian. They win about half the time.
Ultra Moon It uses its tails for everything. If it wraps both of its tails around you and gives you a squeeze, that’s proof it really likes you.
Brilliant Diamond To eat, it deftly shucks nuts with its two tails. It rarely uses its arms now.
Shining Pearl They work in large colonies and make rings by linking their tails, apparently in friendship.
Legends: Arceus To affirm their kinship, members of this species will form a ring by linking their newly doubled tails together. On rare occasions, humans have been accepted into such rings.
