Pokédex entries

X Omega Ruby	The organ that emits its intense psychic power is sheltered by its ears to keep power from leaking out.
Y Alpha Sapphire	It has enough psychic energy to blast everything within 300 feet of itself, but it has no control over its power.
Sword	Though Espurr’s expression never changes, behind that blank stare is an intense struggle to contain its devastating psychic power.
Shield	There’s enough psychic power in Espurr to send a wrestler flying, but because this power can’t be controlled, Espurr finds it troublesome.
