Lore

Version-specific Pokédex entries for this Pokémon.
Pokémon Ruby box art

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 box art

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.
