Pokédex entries

RedBlue	Its massive bones are 1000 times harder than human bones. It can easily knock a trailer flying.
Yellow	A POKéMON with a one-track mind. Once it charges, it won’t stop running until it falls asleep.
Gold	It is inept at turning because of its four short legs. It can only charge and run in one direction.
Silver	It doesn’t care if there is anything in its way. It just charges and destroys all obstacles.
Crystal	It can remember only one thing at a time. Once it starts rushing, it forgets why it started.
Ruby	RHYHORN runs in a straight line, smashing everything in its path. It is not bothered even if it rushes headlong into a block of steel. This POKéMON may feel some pain from the collision the next day, however.
Sapphire	RHYHORN’s brain is very small. It is so dense, while on a run it forgets why it started running in the first place. It apparently remembers sometimes if it demolishes something.
FireRed	Strong, but not too bright, this POKéMON can shatter even a skyscraper with its charging TACKLES.
LeafGreen	Its massive bones are 1,000 times harder than human bones. Its TACKLE can knock a semitrailer flying.
Emerald	Once it starts running, it doesn’t stop. Its tiny brain makes it so stupid that it can’t remember why it started running in the first place.
DiamondPearl	Its body is clad in a thick hide, and its tackles topple buildings. Unfortunately, it is not smart.
Platinum	Its powerful tackles can destroy anything. However, it is too slow witted to help people work.
HeartGold	It is inept at turning because of its four short legs. It can only charge and run in one direction.
SoulSilver	It doesn’t care if there is anything in its way. It just charges and destroys all obstacles.
BlackWhiteBlack 2White 2	Its powerful tackles can destroy anything. However, it is too slow witted to help people work.
X	Strong, but not too bright, this Pokémon can shatter even a skyscraper with its charging Tackles.
Y	It is inept at turning because of its four short legs. It can only charge and run in one direction.
Omega Ruby	Rhyhorn runs in a straight line, smashing everything in its path. It is not bothered even if it rushes headlong into a block of steel. This Pokémon may feel some pain from the collision the next day, however.
Alpha Sapphire	Rhyhorn’s brain is very small. It is so dense, while on a run it forgets why it started running in the first place. It apparently remembers sometimes if it demolishes something.
Let's Go PikachuLet's Go Eevee	A Pokémon with a one-track mind. Once it charges, it won’t stop running until it falls asleep.
Sword	Strong, but not too bright, this Pokémon can shatter even a skyscraper with its charging tackles.
Shield	It can remember only one thing at a time. Once it starts rushing, it forgets why it started.
Brilliant DiamondShining Pearl	Its body is clad in a thick hide, and its tackles topple buildings. Unfortunately, it is not smart.
Legends: Arceus	Ludicrously strong—when it butts heads with a mountain, it is the mountain that shatters. But its short legs struggle with turns, and it is incapable of stopping unless it collides with something.
