Sapphire SEAKING is very protective of its eggs. The male and female will take turns patrolling around their nest and eggs. The guarding of eggs by these POKéMON goes on for over a month.
FireRed The horn on its head is sharp like a drill. It bores a hole in a boulder to make its nest.
LeafGreen In the autumn spawning season, they can be seen swimming powerfully up rivers and creeks.
Emerald It punches holes in boulders on streambeds. This is a clever innovation that prevents its eggs from being attacked or washed away by the current.

Pearl To protect its family, it will fight with its drill-sharp horn. It lives in hollowed rocks in streams.
