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

Its wings are too tiny to allow it to fly. As the time approaches for it to evolve, it discards the bones it was wearing.

White

They tend to guard their posteriors with suitable bones they have found. They pursue weak Pokémon.

Black 2 · White 2 · Y · Alpha Sapphire

Their wings are too tiny to allow them to fly. They guard their posteriors with bones that were gathered by Mandibuzz.

Sun

It protects its plump posterior with the bones of prey it has consumed. As it grows, it replaces the bones.

Moon

It can’t fly yet and must wait until its wings have developed more. Since it’s still at a playful age, it hops around friskily.

Ultra Sun

Mandibuzz gives it the bones it wears. Vullaby’s wings are short, so it can’t fly yet, but it jumps around, dreaming of wide open skies.

Ultra Moon

Its healthy appetite leads to visible growth spurts. It often has to replace the bones it wears as its size increases.

Sword

It wears a bone to protect its rear. It often squabbles with others of its kind over particularly comfy bones.

Shield

Vullaby grow quickly. Bones that have gotten too small for older Vullaby to wear often get passed down to younger ones in the nest.
