Pokédex entries

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 2White 2	When it is healthy, its core sticks out. Always facing the same way, it swiftly moves front to back and left to right.
XOmega Ruby	Because its energy was too great to be contained, the energy leaked and formed orange crystals.
YAlpha Sapphire	When it is healthy, its core sticks out. Always facing the same way, it swiftly moves front to back and left to right.
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.
Sword	If you see its orange crystals start to glow, be wary. It’s about to fire off bursts of energy.
Shield	It relies on sound in order to monitor what’s in its vicinity. When angered, it will attack without ever changing the direction it’s facing.
