Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold

Because its wings aren't yet fully grown, it has to hop to get around. It is always staring at something.

Pokémon Silver

It usually forages for food on the ground but may, on rare occasions, hop onto branches to peck at shoots.

Pokémon Crystal

It is extremely good at climbing tree trunks and likes to eat the new sprouts on the trees.

Pokémon Ruby

Natu cannot fly because its wings are not yet fully grown. If your eyes meet with this Pokémon's eyes, it will stare back intently at you. But if you move even slightly, it will hop away to safety.

Pokémon Sapphire

Natu has a highly developed jumping ability. The Pokémon flaps and leaps onto tree branches that are taller than grown-up people to pick at the tree's new shoots.

Pokémon Emerald

It runs up short trees that grow on the savanna to peck at new shoots. A Natu's eyes look as if they are always observing something.

Pokémon FireRed

It usually forages for food on the ground but may, on rare occasions, hop onto branches to peck at shoots.

Pokémon LeafGreen

Because its wings aren't yet fully grown, it has to hop to get around. It is always staring at something.
