Pokédex Entries for Bonsly

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

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.

Generation 7 Pokédex Entries

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.

Ultra Sun

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.

Ultra Moon

If its body gets too damp, it will die. So, in a process reminiscent of sweating, its eyes expel moisture.

Generation 6 Pokédex Entries

X Omega Ruby

It prefers arid environments. It leaks water from its eyes to adjust its body's fluid levels.

Y Alpha Sapphire

It prefers an arid atmosphere. It leaks water that looks like tears when adjusting its moisture level.

Generation 5 Pokédex Entries

Black White Black 2 White 2
