| FireRed LeafGreen |
It lives in massive rivers that course through jungles. It swarms prey that enter its territory. |
| Emerald | CARVANHA attack ships in swarms, making them sink. Although it is said to be a very vicious POKéMON, it timidly flees as soon as it finds itself alone. |
| Diamond Pearl Platinum |
They swarm any foe that invades their territory. Their sharp fangs can tear out boat hulls. |
