Flavor Text |
 | Sun | It uses its wings to adjust its body temperature. Otherwise, its metal body would become too hot and melt in the heat of battle. |
Moon | Once it has identified an enemy, this Pokémon smashes it mercilessly with pincers hard as steel. | Ultra Sun | Its body is like steel. Its tough, heavy pincers are more suited to smashing enemies than grabbing them. | Ultra Moon | Once it has identified something as an enemy, it will continue beating them with its steel-hard pincers until there’s nothing left but scraps. |  | Sun | The excess energy that bathes this Pokémon keeps it in constant danger of overflow. It can’t sustain a battle over long periods of time. |
Moon | Due to the effects of Mega Evolution, its pincers have taken on a more diabolical form, ripping anything they pinch to shreds. | Ultra Sun | It stores the excess energy from Mega Evolution, so after a long time passes, its body starts to melt. | Ultra Moon | It’s better at beating things than grasping them. When it battles for a long time, the weight of its pincers becomes too much to bear. |
