Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| X | Apparently this Pokémon is born when a departed spirit inhabits a sword. It attaches itself to people and drinks their life force. |
| Y | If anyone dares to grab its hilt, it wraps a blue cloth around that person’s arm and drains that person’s life energy completely. |
| Sword | Honedge’s soul once belonged to a person who was killed a long time ago by the sword that makes up Honedge’s body. |
| Shield | The blue eye on the sword’s handguard is the true body of Honedge. With its old cloth, it drains people’s lives away. |
