Pokédex entries
| RedBlue | Always furious and tenacious to boot. It will not abandon chasing its quarry until it is caught. |
|---|---|
| Yellow | It stops being angry only when nobody else is around. To view this moment is very difficult. |
| Stadium | When enraged, it gives chase endlessly. Because it is impossible to tell what made it angry, there is no soothing it. |
| GoldStadium 2 | If approached while asleep, it may awaken and angrily give chase in a groggy state of semi-sleep. |
| Silver | It becomes wildly furious if it even senses someone looking at it. It chases anyone that meets its glare. |
| Crystal | It will beat up anyone who makes it mad, even if it has to chase them until the end of the world. |
