Pokédex descriptions

Shield

It burrows into the ground to create its nest. If hard stones impede its tunneling, it uses its sharp claws to shatter them and then carries on digging.

Sword

It loves to bathe in the grit of dry, sandy areas. By sand bathing, the Pokémon rids itself of dirt and moisture clinging to its body.

Lets Go Eevee

Its body is dry. When it gets cold at night, its hide is said to become coated with a fine dew.
