Pineco
Diamond/PearlPlatinum

It looks just like a pinecone. Its shell protects it from bird Pokémon that peck it by mistake.

Heartgold

It likes to make its shell thicker by adding layers of tree bark. The additional weight doesn’t bother it.

Soulsilver

It hangs and waits for flying insect prey to come near. It does not move about much on its own.
