Pokédex entries

Garchomp

Diamond	When it folds up its body and extends its wings, it looks like a jet plane. It flies at sonic speed.
Pearl	It flies at speeds equal to a jet fighter plane. It never allows its prey to escape.
Platinum	It is said that when one runs at high speed, its wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees.
HeartGold SoulSilver	Its body is covered in fine scales that reduce drag, enabling it to fly at high speeds.
Black White Black 2 White 2	It is said that when one runs at high speed, its wings create blades of wind that can fell nearby trees.
X Omega Ruby	When it folds up its body and extends its wings, it looks like a jet plane. It flies at sonic speed.
Y Alpha Sapphire	It flies at speeds equal to a jet fighter plane. It never allows its prey to escape.
Sun	It can fly at speeds rivaling jet planes. It dives into flocks of bird Pokémon and gulps the entire flock down whole.
Moon	The protuberances on its head serve as sensors. It can even detect distant prey.
Ultra Sun	It flies at the speed of sound while searching for prey, and it has midair battles with Salamence as the two compete for food.
Ultra Moon	Its fine scales don’t just reduce wind resistance—their sharp edges also cause injury to any opponent who attacks it.

Mega Garchomp

Sun	Excess energy melted its arms and wings, transforming them into giant scythes.
Moon	Its vaunted wings become scythes, sending it mad with rage. It swings its scythes wildly and slices the ground to pieces.
Ultra Sun	Its arms and wings melted into something like scythes. Mad with rage, it rampages on and on.
Ultra Moon	Its disposition is more vicious than before its Mega Evolution. Garchomp carves its opponents up with the scythes on both arms.
