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