Blue | Moves silently and stealthily. Eats the eggs of birds, such as PIDGEY and SPEAROW, whole. |
Yellow | The older it gets, the longer it grows. At night, it wraps its long body around tree branches to rest. |
Gold | It can freely detach its jaw to swallow large prey whole. It can become too heavy to move, however. |
Silver | It always hides in grass. When first born, it has no poison, so its bite is painful, but harmless. |
Crystal | It flutters the tip of its tongue to seek out the scent of prey, then swallows the prey whole. |
Firered | A very common sight in grassland, etc. It flicks its tongue in and out to sense danger in its surroundings. |
Leafgreen | Moving silently and stealthily, it eats the eggs of birds, such as PIDGEY and SPEAROW, whole. |
Heartgold | It can freely detach its jaw to swallow large prey whole. It can become too heavy to move, however. |
Soulsilver | It always hides in grass. When first born, it has no poison, so its bite is painful, but harmless. |

UltraSun | By dislocating its jaw, it can swallow prey larger than itself. After a meal, it curls up and rests. |
UltraMoon | The eggs of bird Pokémon are its favorite food. It swallows eggs whole, so sometimes an egg gets stuck, and Ekans faints. |
