Pokédex entries

Gold	Because its wings aren’t yet fully grown, it has to hop to get around. It is always staring at something.
Silver	It usually forages for food on the ground but may, on rare occasions, hop onto branches to peck at shoots.
Crystal	It is extremely good at climbing tree trunks and likes to eat the new sprouts on the trees.
Ruby	NATU cannot fly because its wings are not yet fully grown. If your eyes meet with this POKéMON’s eyes, it will stare back intently at you. But if you move even slightly, it will hop away to safety.
Sapphire	NATU has a highly developed jumping ability. The POKéMON flaps and leaps onto tree branches that are taller than grown-up people to pick at the tree’s new shoots.
FireRed	It usually forages for food on the ground but may, on rare occasions, hop onto branches to peck at shoots.
LeafGreen	Because its wings aren’t yet fully grown, it has to hop to get around. It is always staring at something.
Emerald	It runs up short trees that grow on the savanna to peck at new shoots. A NATU’s eyes look as if they are always observing something.
Diamond Pearl Platinum	It picks food from cactus plants, deftly avoiding buds and spines. It seems to skip about to move.
HeartGold	Because its wings aren’t yet fully grown, it has to hop to get around. It is always staring at something.

Omega Ruby	Natu cannot fly because its wings are not yet fully grown. If your eyes meet with this Pokémon’s eyes, it will stare back intently at you. But if you move even slightly, it will hop away to safety.
Alpha Sapphire	Natu has a highly developed jumping ability. The Pokémon flaps and leaps onto tree branches that are taller than grown-up people to pick at the tree’s new shoots.
Ultra Sun	Although it still can’t fly, its jumping power is outstanding. It jumps way up into trees and plucks the buds from the branches.
Ultra Moon	The look in its eyes gives the impression that it’s carefully observing you. If you approach it, Natu will hop away.
Sword	It is extremely good at climbing tree trunks and likes to eat the new sprouts on the trees.
