Pokédex Entries

Sun "It lies around all day, becoming active near dusk. At night, it wanders the city in search of loose change." Moon "It loves shiny things. It often fights with Murkrow over prey they’re both trying to catch."
Ultra Sun "When visiting a junkyard, you may catch sight of it having an intense fight with Murkrow over shiny objects." Ultra Moon "It loves coins, so if you give it one, you can make friends with Meowth easily. But it’s fickle, so you can’t count on that friendship lasting."
