Flavor Text Entries

  • Sun: When it finds a trace of its prey, it patiently stakes out the location...but it’s always snoozing by nightfall.
  • Moon: It adores having Rattata and Raticate for dinner, but as it’s diurnal, it never encounters them. This Pokémon boasts incredible patience.
  • Ultra-Sun: Although it wasn’t originally found in Alola, this Pokémon was brought over a long time ago when there was a huge Rattata outbreak.
  • Ultra-Moon: Patient by nature, this Pokémon loses control of itself and pounces when it spots its favorite meal—Rattata!
