Pokédex descriptions
Shield
It can sometimes live underground for more than 10 years. It absorbs nutrients from the roots of trees.
Sword
Because it lived almost entirely underground, it is nearly blind. It uses its antennae instead.
Alpha Sapphire
Nincada lives underground. It uses its sharp claws to carve the roots of trees and absorb moisture and nutrients. This Pokémon can’t withstand bright sunlight so avoids it.
