Flavor

Flavor Text

Generation 5
Black

When it overflows with power, the orange crystal on its body glows. It looks for underground water in caves.

White

Because its energy was too great to be contained, the energy leaked and formed orange crystals.

Black 2, White 2

When it is healthy, its core sticks out. Always facing the same way, it swiftly moves front to back and left to right.

Generation 6
X

Because its energy was too great to be contained, the energy leaked and formed orange crystals.

Y

When it is healthy, its core sticks out. Always facing the same way, it swiftly moves front to back and left to right.

Omega Ruby

Because its energy was too great to be contained, the energy leaked and formed orange crystals.

Alpha Sapphire

When it is healthy, its core sticks out. Always facing the same way, it swiftly moves front to back and left to right.

Generation 7
Sun

Its orange crystal is a mass of energy. Just one crystal fragment would provide enough fuel for a hundred dump trucks.

Moon

It explores caves in search of underground water. It’s not comfortable around water, so this Pokémon takes great care in lapping it up.

Ultra Sun

The energy overflowing from its body has turned into orange crystals that are hard enough to smash diamonds.

Ultra Moon

Its orange crystals are lumps of powerful energy. They’re valuable, so Boldore is sometimes targeted for them.
