| Pearl | It prefers arid environments. It leaks water from its eyes to adjust its body’s fluid levels. |
| Platinum, Black, White, Black 2, White 2 | It prefers an arid atmosphere. It leaks water that looks like tears when adjusting its moisture level. |
| HeartGold, SoulSilver | In order to adjust the level of fluids in its body, it exudes water from its eyes. This makes it appear to be crying. |
| X, Omega Ruby | It prefers arid environments. It leaks water from its eyes to adjust its body’s fluid levels. |
| Y, Alpha Sapphire | It prefers an arid atmosphere. It leaks water that looks like tears when adjusting its moisture level. |
| Sun | It does not deal well with water, so it lives in dry locales. Since its surroundings tend to lack greenery, it stands out noticeably. |
| Moon | From its eyes, it can expel excess moisture from its body. This liquid is similar in composition to human sweat. |
| Ultra Sun | It discharges moisture from its eyes, making it look like it’s crying—apparently an effective way of getting enemies to let down their guard. |
| Ultra Moon | If its body gets too damp, it will die. So, in a process reminiscent of sweating, its eyes expel moisture. |

| Shield | This Pokémon lives in dry, rocky areas. As its green spheres dry out, their dull luster increases. |
| Legends: Arceus | Its tears elicit sympathy from those who see them, but do not be deceived! This expulsion of body water is merely a physiological mechanism for keeping itself in good health. |
