Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| Gold | It likes to make its shell thicker by adding layers of tree bark. The additional weight doesn’t bother it. |
| Silver | It hangs and waits for flying insect prey to come near. It does not move about much on its own. |
| Crystal | It spits out a fluid that it uses to glue tree bark to its body. The fluid hardens when it touches air. |
| 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. |
| UltraSun | Motionless, it hangs from trees, waiting for its bug Pokémon prey to come to it. Its favorite in Alola is Cutiefly. |
| UltraMoon | It sticks tree bark to itself with its saliva, making itself thicker and larger. Elderly Pineco are ridiculously huge. |
| Scarlet | It likes to make its shell thicker by adding layers of tree bark. The additional weight doesn’t bother it. |
| Violet | It spits out a fluid that it uses to glue tree bark to its body. The fluid hardens when it touches air. |
