| Flavor Text | |||
| Ruby | NINCADA lives underground for many years in complete darkness. This POKéMON absorbs nutrients from the roots of trees. It stays motionless as it waits for evolution. | ||
| Sapphire | NINCADA lives underground. It uses its sharp claws to carve the roots of trees and absorb moisture and nutrients. This POKéMON can't withstand bright sunlight so avoids it. | ||
| Emerald | It makes its nest at the roots of a mighty tree. Using its whiskerlike antennae, it probes its surroundings in the pitch-black darkness of soil. | ||
| FireRed | Because it lived almost entirely underground, it is nearly blind. It uses its antennae instead. | ||
| LeafGreen | Because it lived almost entirely underground, it is nearly blind. It uses its antennae instead. | ||
