Pokédex entries
| GoldStadium 2 | It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby. |
|---|---|
| Silver | The development of wings on its legs enables it to fly fast but also makes it tough to stop and rest. |
| Crystal | As a result of its pursuit of faster, yet more silent flight, a new set of wings grew on its hind legs. |
