Pokédex entries by game

Descriptions recorded in these games. This list does not establish where the Pokémon can be caught or transferred.

Black

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

White · X · Omega Ruby

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

Black 2 · White 2 · Y · 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.

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.
