NINCADA lives underground for many years in complete darkness. This POKéMON absorbs nutrients from the roots of trees. It stays motionless as it waits for evolution.
Sapphire
NINCADA lives underground. It uses its sharp claws to carve the roots of trees and absorb moisture and nutrients. This POKéMON can't withstand bright sunlight so avoids it.
Emerald
It makes its nest at the roots of a mighty tree. Using its whiskerlike antennae, it probes its surroundings in the pitch-black darkness of soil.
FireRed
Because it lived almost entirely underground, it is nearly blind. It uses its antennae instead.
LeafGreen
Diamond
It grows underground, sensing its surroundings using antennae instead of its virtually blind eyes.
Attacks 2-5 times in one turn; if one of these attacks breaks a target's Substitute, the target will take damage for the rest of the hits. This move has a 3/8 chance to hit twice, a 3/8 chance to hit three times, a 1/8 chance to hit four times and a 1/8 chance to hit five times.
This move ensures that the user's next attack will hit against its current target. This effect can be Baton Passed to another Pokemon. Mind Reader fails against Pokemon in the middle of using Protect, Detect, DigFly, Bounce or Dive, as well as Pokemon behind a Substitute.
On the first turn, the user digs underground, becoming uncontrollable, and evades all attacks. Earthquake and Magnitude can hit underground and gain doubled power. The user may also be hit underground if it was previously targeted by Lock-On or Mind Reader or if it is attacked by a Pokemon with No Guard. On the second turn, the user attacks.

This move has a 3/8 chance to hit twice, a 3/8 chance to hit three times, a 1/8 chance to hit four times and a 1/8 chance to hit five times. If the user of this move has Skill Link, this move will always strike five times.
This move ensures that the user's next attack will hit against its current target. This effect can be Baton Passed to another Pokemon. Mind Reader fails against Pokemon in the middle of using Protect, Detect, DigFly, Bounce or Dive, as well as Pokemon behind a Substitute. If the target uses Protect or Detect during its next turn, the user's next move has a [100 - move's normal accuracy]% chance to hit through Protect or Detect. OHKO moves do not benefit from this trait.

Almost always goes first. The user is left with at least 1 HP following any attacks for one turn, but the move's success rate halves with each consecutive use of Protect, Detect or Endure.
The user eats the target's held berry and, if applicable, receives its benefits. Jaboca Berry will be removed without damaging the user, but Tanga Berry will still activate and reduce this move's power. The target can still recover its held berry by using Recycle.
Almost always goes first. The user is left with at least 1 HP following any attacks for one turn, but the move's success rate halves with each consecutive use of Protect, Detect or Endure.
This move is temporarily replaced by the target's last move; the replacement move will have 5 PP and become part of the user's moveset until the user switches out or the battle ends. Mimic copies attacks even if they miss or the user has immunity toward their type; it cannot copy itself, Struggle, Transform, Sketch, Metronome or moves that the user already knows, and it will fail if the target has yet to use a move.
The user takes one-fourth of its maximum HP to create a substitute; this move fails if the user does not have enough HP for this. Until the substitute is broken, it receives damage from all attacks made by other Pokemon and shields the user from status effects and stat modifiers caused by other Pokemon. The user is still affected by Tickle, Hail, Sandstorm and Attract from behind its Substitute. If a Substitute breaks from a hit during a multistrike move such as Fury Attack, the user takes damage from the remaining strikes.
Almost always goes first. The user is left with at least 1 HP following any attacks for one turn, but the move's success rate halves with each consecutive use of Protect, Detect or Endure.
The base power of this move doubles with each consecutive hit; however, power is capped at a maximum 160 BP and remains there for any subsequent uses. If this move misses, or if the user selects another move, base power will be reset to 10 BP on the next turn.
Does nothing if the user is awake. If the user asleep, it randomly performs one of its attacks. Rest will fail if it is selected. Sleep Talk's generated attacks do not cost PP, but it cannot generate moves with 0 PP, itself, Assist, Bide, Disabled attacks, Focus Punch, Metronome, Mirror Move, Uproar, or attacks with a charge-up turn like Fly or Skull Bash. (Moves with a recharge turn like Hyper Beam can be generated.)
The base power of this move doubles with each consecutive hit; however, power is capped at a maximum 160 BP and remains there for any subsequent uses. If this move misses, base power will be reset to 10 BP on the next turn. The user can also select other attacks without resetting this move's power; it will continue to double after each use until it either misses or reaches the 160 BP cap.
The target's most recent move is reduced by 4 PP; this fails if the target has not yet performed a move, if the target's last move has run out of PP, or if the target can only use Struggle.
