Flavor Text
Sword	It is virtually worthless in terms of both power and speed. It is the most weak and pathetic Pokémon in the world.
Shield	This weak and pathetic Pokémon gets easily pushed along rivers when there are strong currents.
Brilliant Diamond	It is said to be the world's weakest Pokémon. No one knows why it has managed to survive.
Shining Pearl	It is unable to swim against even slow-moving currents. It always splashes about for some reason.
Legends: Arceus	A feeble, pitiful imbecile of a Pokémon that is nonetheless very hardy. Unperturbed by turbid water, it can be found living in all sorts of places.
