---|---|
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. |

Black White |
Its arms are made of plants that bind themselves to things. They grow back right away if cut. |

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. |

Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl |
It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it. |
