Pokédex Flavour (description)
- Ruby
- DUSTOX is instinctively drawn to light. Swarms of this POKéMON are attracted by the bright lights of cities, where they wreak havoc by stripping the leaves off roadside trees for food.
- Sapphire
- When DUSTOX flaps its wings, a fine dust is scattered all over. This dust is actually a powerful poison that will even make a pro wrestler sick. This POKéMON searches for food using its antennae like radar.
- Emerald
- It is a nocturnal POKéMON that flies from fields and mountains to the attraction of streetlights at night. It looses highly toxic powder from its wings.
- Fire Red
- It scatters horribly toxic dust when it senses danger. They tend to gather in the glow of streetlamps at night.
- Leaf Green
- It scatters horribly toxic dust when it senses danger. They tend to gather in the glow of streetlamps at night.
