Lore
Ruby
TAILLOW courageously stands its ground against foes, however strong they may be. This gutsy Pokémon will remain defiant even after a loss. On the other hand, it cries loudly if it becomes hungry.
Sapphire
TAILLOW is young - it has only just left its nest. As a result, it sometimes becomes lonesome and cries at night. This Pokémon feeds on WURMPLE that live in forests.
