Diamond/Pearl

It is nearly impossible to parry its attacking scythes. Its movements are like a ninja’s.

Platinum

The sharp scythes on its forearms become increasingly sharp by cutting through hard objects.

Heartgold

It slashes through grass with its sharp scythes, moving too fast for the human eye to track.

Soulsilver

When it moves, it leaves only a blur. If it hides in grass, its protective coloration makes it invisible.
