Pokédex Entries¶

Platinum Diamond Pearl Heartgold Soulsilver

The sharp scythes on its forearms become increasingly sharp by cutting through hard objects.

It is nearly impossible to parry its attacking scythes. Its movements are like a ninja’s.

It slashes through grass with its sharp scythes, moving too fast for the human eye to track.

When it moves, it leaves only a blur. If it hides in grass, its protective coloration makes it invisible.
