|---|---|
| Sun | Forests where Shiinotic live are treacherous to enter at night. People confused by its strange lights can never find their way home again. |
| Moon | It emits flickering spores that cause drowsiness. When its prey succumb to sleep, this Pokémon feeds on them by sucking in their energy. |
| Ultra Sun | It puts its prey to sleep and siphons off their vitality through the tip of its arms. If one of its kind is weakened, it helps by sending it vitality. |
| Ultra Moon | When it starts fighting for territory with Parasect, the entire area gets completely coated in spores! |
| Sword | Its flickering spores lure in prey and put them to sleep. Once this Pokémon has its prey snoozing, it drains their vitality with its fingertips. |
| Shield | If you see a light deep in a forest at night, don’t go near. Shiinotic will make you fall fast asleep. |
