In-game descriptions of Kakuna across different games

Pokémon Red: "Almost incapable of moving, this POKéMON can only harden its shell to protect itself from predators."

Pokémon Gold: "Although it is a cocoon, it can move a little. It can extend its poison barb if it is attacked."
Pokémon Silver: "From this form, it will grow into an adult. As its body becomes soft er, the external shell hardens."
Pokémon Crystal: "Nearly incapable of movement, it leans against stout trees while waiting for its evolution."
Pokémon Ruby: "KAKUNA remains virtually immobile as it clings to a tree. However, on the inside, it is extremely busy as it prepares for its coming evolution. This is evident from how hot the shell becomes to the touch."
