Like the wind, it can slip through any gap, no matter how small. It leaves balls of white fluff behind. |
Sun | It rides on the wind and slips into people’s homes. After it has turned a room into a cotton-filled mess, it giggles to itself and takes off. |
Moon | This Pokémon appears, riding upon the wind. But if the wind gusts up, it’ll blow the cotton on this Pokémon’s head clean off. |
Ultra Sun | This nuisance sneaks into people’s homes, where it hides important things and scatters cotton all over the place. |
Ultra Moon | Whimsicott doesn’t live in a fixed location. It floats around on whirling winds, appearing all over the place to perform its mischief. |
Sword | It scatters cotton all over the place as a prank. If it gets wet, it’ll become too heavy to move and have no choice but to answer for its mischief. |
Shield | As long as this Pokémon bathes in sunlight, its cotton keeps growing. If too much cotton fluff builds up, Whimsicott tears it off and scatters it. |
