Pokédex descriptions
Lets Go Eevee
The older it gets, the longer it grows. At night, it wraps its long body around tree branches to rest.
Ultra Moon
The eggs of bird Pokémon are its favorite food. It swallows eggs whole, so sometimes an egg gets stuck, and Ekans faints.
Ultra Sun
By dislocating its jaw, it can swallow prey larger than itself. After a meal, it curls up and rests.
