Pokédex entries

Ruby To make prey faint, VIBRAVA generates ultrasonic waves by vigorously making its two wings vibrate. This POKéMON’s ultrasonic waves are so powerful, they can bring on headaches in people.
Sapphire VIBRAVA’s wings have not yet completed the process of growing. Rather than flying long distances, they are more useful for generating ultrasonic waves by vibrating.
FireRed
LeafGreen		 It generates ultrasonic waves by violently flapping its wings. After making its prey faint, it melts the prey with acid.
Emerald It looses ultrasonic waves by rubbing its wings together. Since a VIBRAVA’s wings are still in the process of growing, it can only fly short distances.
Diamond
Pearl
Platinum		 It violently shudders its wings, generating ultrasonic waves to induce headaches in people.
HeartGold
SoulSilver		 It vibrates its wings vigorously, creating ultrasonic waves that cause serious headaches.
Black
White		 It violently shudders its wings, generating ultrasonic waves to induce headaches in people.

Alpha Sapphire Vibrava’s wings have not yet completed the process of growing. Rather than flying long distances, they are more useful for generating ultrasonic waves by vibrating.
Sun Rather than using its underdeveloped wings for flight, it rubs them together, producing ultrasonic waves to attack its enemies.
Moon To help make its wings grow, it dissolves quantities of prey in its digestive juices and guzzles them down every day.
Ultra Sun It vibrates its wings to generate ultrasonic waves, causing its prey to faint. Then it buries the prey alive in the sand to preserve it.
Ultra Moon It vibrates its wings to send out odd sound waves. Trainers who are with it need earplugs.
