Pokédex entries by game

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

Black · X · Omega Ruby

When attacked, it escapes by shooting cotton from its body. The cotton serves as a decoy to distract the attacker.

White

They go wherever the wind takes them. On rainy days, their bodies are heavier, so they take shelter beneath big trees.

Black 2 · White 2 · Y · Alpha Sapphire

Perhaps because they feel more at ease in a group, they stick to others they find. They end up looking like a cloud.

Sun

When it finds others of its kind, they all stick together. When enough of them have collected, the mass resembles a cumulonimbus cloud.

Moon

Pillows and beds stuffed with cotton exhaled by Cottonee are soft and puffy, light and airy— altogether top quality.

Ultra Sun

To protect itself, it shoots cotton from its body. When it gets wet in the rain, its cotton grows moist and heavy, and it can’t move as well.

Ultra Moon

When attacked, it expels cotton from its body to create a diversion. The cotton it loses grows back in quickly.

Sword

It shoots cotton from its body to protect itself. If it gets caught up in hurricane-strength winds, it can get sent to the other side of the Earth.

Shield

Weaving together the cotton of both Cottonee and Eldegoss produces exquisite cloth that’s highly prized by many luxury brands.
