Pokedex Entries
Red Blue In the distant past, it was somewhat stronger than the horribly weak descendants that exist today.
Yellow Famous for being very unreliable. It can be found swimming in seas, lakes, rivers and shallow puddles.
Stadium Whoever its opponent, and however horrible the attack it receives, all it does is SPLASH around.
Gold Stadium 2 An underpowered, pathetic POKEMON. It may jump high on rare occasions, but never more than seven feet.
Silver For no reason, it jumps and splashes about, making it easy for predators like PIDGEOTTO to catch it in mid-jump.
Crystal This weak and pathetic POKEMON gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.
