Pokédex entries

Ruby	When SWALOT spots prey, it spurts out a hideously toxic fluid from its pores and sprays the target. Once the prey has weakened, this POKéMON gulps it down whole with its cavernous mouth.
Sapphire	SWALOT has no teeth, so what it eats, it swallows whole, no matter what. Its cavernous mouth yawns widely. An automobile tire could easily fit inside this POKéMON’s mouth.
FireRed LeafGreen	It can swallow a tire whole in one gulp. It secretes a horribly toxic fluid from the pores on its body.
Emerald	Its powerful stomach acid is capable of digesting almost anything. The one thing in the whole world a SWALOT can’t digest is its own stomach.
Diamond Pearl Platinum	It swallows anything whole. It sweats toxic fluids from its follicles to douse foes.
