Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| Black | The sound of Sawk punching boulders and trees can be heard all the way from the mountains where they train. |
| White | Tying their belts gets them pumped and makes their punches more destructive. Disturbing their training angers them. |
| Black2 | Desiring the strongest karate chop, they seclude themselves in mountains and train without sleeping. |
| White2 | Desiring the strongest karate chop, they seclude themselves in mountains and train without sleeping. |
| X | Desiring the strongest karate chop, they seclude themselves in mountains and train without sleeping. |
| Y | Tying their belts gets them pumped and makes their punches more destructive. Disturbing their training angers them. |
| Sword | If you see a Sawk training in the mountains in its single-minded pursuit of strength, it’s best to quietly pass by. |
| Shield | The karate chops of a Sawk that’s trained itself to the limit can cleave the ocean itself. |
