Pokédex entries
| Black | When attacked, it escapes by shooting cotton from its body. The cotton serves as a decoy to distract the attacker. |
|---|---|
| White | They go wherever the wind takes them. On rainy days, their bodies are heavier, so they take shelter beneath big trees. |
| Black 2 White 2 |
Perhaps because they feel more at ease in a group, they stick to others they find. They end up looking like a cloud. |

| Y Alpha Sapphire |
Perhaps because they feel more at ease in a group, they stick to others they find. They end up looking like a cloud. |
| Sun | When it finds others of its kind, they all stick together. When enough of them have collected, the mass resembles a cumulonimbus cloud. |
| Moon | Pillows and beds stuffed with cotton exhaled by Cottonee are soft and puffy, light and airy— altogether top quality. |
| Ultra Sun | To protect itself, it shoots cotton from its body. When it gets wet in the rain, its cotton grows moist and heavy, and it can’t move as well. |
| Ultra Moon | When attacked, it expels cotton from its body to create a diversion. The cotton it loses grows back in quickly. |
| Sword | It shoots cotton from its body to protect itself. If it gets caught up in hurricane-strength winds, it can get sent to the other side of the Earth. |
| Shield | Weaving together the cotton of both Cottonee and Eldegoss produces exquisite cloth that’s highly prized by many luxury brands. |
