Pokédex entries

GoldStadium 2 Although it always pretends to be a tree, its composition appears to be closer to a rock then a plant.
Silver It disguises itself as a tree to avoid attack. It hates water, so it will disappear if it starts raining.
Crystal If a tree branch shakes when there is no wind, it’s a SUDOWOODO, not a tree. It hides from the rain.
