Pokedex Entries
Red Blue Because it never removes its skull helmet, no one has ever seen this POKEMON's real face.
Yellow Wears the skull of its deceased mother. Its cries echo inside the skull and come out as a sad melody.
Stadium Always wears the skull of its deceased mother on its head and never shows its face. It cries mournfully in the moonlight.
Gold Stadium 2 If it is sad or lonely, the skull it wears shakes, and emits a plaintive and mournful sound.
Silver It always wears the skull of its dead mother, so no one has any idea what its hidden face looks like.
Crystal It lost its mother after its birth. It wears its mother's skull, never revealing its true face.
