Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| LegendsArceus | Its tears elicit sympathy from those who see them, but do not be deceived! This expulsion of body water is merely a physiological mechanism for keeping itself in good health. |
| Diamond | It looks as if it is always crying. It is actually adjusting its body’s fluid levels by eliminating excess. |
| Pearl | It prefers arid environments. It leaks water from its eyes to adjust its body’s fluid levels. |
| Platinum | It prefers an arid atmosphere. It leaks water that looks like tears when adjusting its moisture level. |
| X | It prefers arid environments. It leaks water from its eyes to adjust its body’s fluid levels. |
| Y | It prefers an arid atmosphere. It leaks water that looks like tears when adjusting its moisture level. |
| Sun | It does not deal well with water, so it lives in dry locales. Since its surroundings tend to lack greenery, it stands out noticeably. |
| Moon | From its eyes, it can expel excess moisture from its body. This liquid is similar in composition to human sweat. |
| UltraSun | It discharges moisture from its eyes, making it look like it’s crying—apparently an effective way of getting enemies to let down their guard. |
| UltraMoon | If its body gets too damp, it will die. So, in a process reminiscent of sweating, its eyes expel moisture. |
| Sword | It expels both sweat and tears from its eyes. The sweat is a little salty, while the tears have a slight bitterness. |
| Shield | This Pokémon lives in dry, rocky areas. As its green spheres dry out, their dull luster increases. |
| BrilliantDiamond | It looks as if it is always crying. It is actually adjusting its body’s fluid levels by eliminating excess. |
| ShiningPearl | It prefers arid environments. It leaks water from its eyes to adjust its body’s fluid levels. |
| Scarlet | In order to adjust the level of fluids in its body, it exudes water from its eyes. This makes it appear to be crying. |
| Violet | From its eyes, it can expel excess moisture from its body. This liquid is similar in composition to human sweat. |
