Pokédex entries

Red Blue	Long considered a mythical POKéMON until recently when a small colony was found living underwater.
Yellow	The existence of this mythical POKéMON was only recently confirmed by a fisherman who caught one.
Gold	It is born large to start with. It repeatedly sheds its skin as it steadily grows longer.
Silver	This POKéMON is full of life energy. It continually sheds its skin and grows steadily larger.
Crystal	It sheds many layers of skin as it grows larger. During this process, it is protected by a rapid waterfall.
Ruby Sapphire	DRATINI continually molts and sloughs off its old skin. It does so because the life energy within its body steadily builds to reach uncontrollable levels.
FireRed	Even the young can exceed 6.5 feet in length. It grows larger by repeatedly shedding skin.
LeafGreen	Long considered a mythical POKéMON until recently, when a small colony was found living underwater.
Emerald	A DRATINI continually molts and sloughs off its old skin. It does so because the life energy within its body steadily builds to reach uncontrollable levels.
Diamond Pearl Platinum	It is called the “Mirage Pokémon” because so few have seen it. Its shed skin has been found.
HeartGold	It is born large to start with. It repeatedly sheds its skin as it steadily grows longer.

Moon	After a 10-hour struggle, a fisherman was able to pull one up and confirm its existence.
Ultra Sun	It’s still weak, so it lurks on the floor of bodies of water, eating whatever food sinks down and living a quiet life.

Let's Go Pikachu Let's Go Eevee	Long thought to be a myth, this Pokémon’s existence was only recently confirmed by a fisherman who caught one.
Sword	Dratini dwells near bodies of rapidly flowing water, such as the plunge pools of waterfalls. As it grows, Dratini will shed its skin many times.

Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl	It is called the Mirage Pokémon because so few have seen it, but its shed skin has been found.
Scarlet	It sheds many layers of skin as it grows larger. During this process, it is protected by a rapid waterfall.
