Pokédex entries
| Black | When it overflows with power, the orange crystal on its body glows. It looks for underground water in caves. |
|---|---|
| White | Because its energy was too great to be contained, the energy leaked and formed orange crystals. |
| Black 2 White 2 | When it is healthy, its core sticks out. Always facing the same way, it swiftly moves front to back and left to right. |
| X Omega Ruby | Because its energy was too great to be contained, the energy leaked and formed orange crystals. |
| Y Alpha Sapphire | When it is healthy, its core sticks out. Always facing the same way, it swiftly moves front to back and left to right. |
| Sun | Its orange crystal is a mass of energy. Just one crystal fragment would provide enough fuel for a hundred dump trucks. |
| Moon | It explores caves in search of underground water. It’s not comfortable around water, so this Pokémon takes great care in lapping it up. |
| Ultra Sun | The energy overflowing from its body has turned into orange crystals that are hard enough to smash diamonds. |
| Ultra Moon | Its orange crystals are lumps of powerful energy. They’re valuable, so Boldore is sometimes targeted for them. |
