Pokedex descriptions

Red/Blue Moves silently and stealthily. Eats the eggs of birds, such as PIDGEY and SPEAROW, whole.

Gold It can freely detach its jaw to swallow large prey whole. It can become too heavy to move, however.
Silver It always hides in grass. When first born, it has no poison, so its bite is painful, but harmless.
