Pokédex entries
| RedBlue | Almost incapable of moving, this Pokémon can only harden its shell to protect itself from predators. |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Able to move only slightly. When endangered, it may stick out its stinger and poison the enemy. |
| Stadium | Because it is virtually motionless, it may appear dead. Inside, however, a new body is being made. |
| GoldStadium 2 | Although it is a cocoon, it can move a little. It can extend its poison barb if it is attacked. |
| Silver | From this form, it will grow into an adult. As its body becomes softer, the external shell hardens. |
| Crystal | Nearly incapable of movement, it leans against stout trees while waiting for its evolution. |
