Pokédex entries
| Diamond Pearl | It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it. |
|---|---|
| Platinum | Its arms are made of plants that bind themselves to things. They grow back right away if cut. |
| HeartGold | When it remains still, it appears to be a large shrub. Unsuspecting prey that wander near get ensnared by its vines. |
| SoulSilver | Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can’t even see its eyes. |
| Black White | Its arms are made of plants that bind themselves to things. They grow back right away if cut. |
| Black 2 White 2 | Even if one of its arms is eaten, it’s fine. The Pokémon regenerates quickly and will go right back to normal. |
| X Omega Ruby | It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it. |
| Y Alpha Sapphire | Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can’t even see its eyes. |
