Ultra Sun
“It moves less than an inch a year, but when it’s in a jam, it will spin and drill down into the ground in a split second.”
Ultra Moon
“It hunts without twitching a muscle by pulling in its prey with powerful magnetism. But sometimes it pulls natural enemies in close.”
Legends: Arceus
“Once the people of Hisui discovered that its red nose always points north, they grew to rely on it greatly when traveling afar. The nose seems to work in a similar way to ancient compasses.”
