Pokédex entries

Gold	If static electricity builds in its body, its fleece doubles in volume. Touching it will shock you.
Silver	Its fleece grows continually. In the summer, the fleece is fully shed, but it grows back in a week.
Crystal	It stores lots of air in its soft fur, allowing it to stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
Ruby Sapphire	MAREEP’s fluffy coat of wool rubs together and builds a static charge. The more static electricity is charged, the more brightly the lightbulb at the tip of its tail grows.
FireRed	Its fleece grows continually. In the summer, the fleece is fully shed, but it grows back in a week.
LeafGreen	If static electricity builds in its body, its fleece doubles in volume. Touching it will shock you.
Emerald	Its fluffy wool rubs together and builds a static charge. The more energy is charged, the more brightly the lightbulb at the tip of its tail glows.
Diamond Pearl Platinum	Its fluffy coat swells to double when static electricity builds up. Touching it can be shocking.
HeartGold	If static electricity builds in its body, its fleece doubles in volume. Touching it will shock you.
SoulSilver	Its fleece grows continually. In the summer, the fleece is fully shed, but it grows back in a week.
Black White	Its fluffy coat swells to double when static electricity builds up. Touching it can be shocking.
Black 2 White 2	When cold weather increases static electricity, its wool doubles in size and the tip of its tail glows slightly.
X	Its fluffy coat swells to double when static electricity builds up. Touching it can be shocking.
Y	It stores lots of air in its soft fur, allowing it to stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire	Mareep’s fluffy coat of wool rubs together and builds a static charge. The more static electricity is charged, the more brightly the lightbulb at the tip of its tail glows.
Ultra Sun	Clothing made from Mareep’s fleece is easily charged with static electricity, so a special process is used on it.
Ultra Moon	Rubbing its fleece generates electricity. You’ll want to pet it because it’s cute, but if you use your bare hand, you’ll get a painful shock.
