Emerald An abandoned plush doll became this POKéMON. They are said to live in garbage dumps and wander about in search of the children that threw them away.
FireRed Strong feelings of hatred turned a puppet into a POKéMON. If it opens its mouth, its cursed energy escapes.
LeafGreen Strong feelings of hatred turned a puppet into a POKéMON. If it opens its mouth, its cursed energy escapes.
