Pokédex descriptions
Legends Arceus
Prefers cold climes and appears along coasts. It's an adorable little thing—as cute as any child—but it's also prideful, unwilling to accept handouts from people.
Alpha Sapphire
Because it is very proud, it hates accepting food from people. Its thick down guards it from cold.
Omega Ruby
It doesn’t like to be taken care of. It’s difficult to bond with since it won’t listen to its Trainer.
