Flavor Text

: This Pokémon is a coward. As it desperately dashes off, the flailing of its many legs leaves a sparkling clean path in its wake.
: Its habitat varies from beaches to seabeds. A natural scavenger, it will gleefully chow down on anything edible, no matter how rotten.
: It will pick up anything it finds on the ground. Sometimes it finds coins, so Murkrow and Meowth will go after it.
: An astonishingly cowardly Pokémon, Wimpod will whir its legs at high speeds to run away if anything comes near it.
