Game data
Pokédex entries
| Gen | Game | Pokédex entry |
|---|---|---|
| III | Ruby | Masquerain intimidates enemies with the eyelike patterns on its antennas. This Pokémon flaps its four wings to freely fly in any direction - even sideways and backwards - as if it were a helicopter. |
| Sapphire | Masquerain's antennas have eyelike patterns that usually give it an angry look. If the "eyes" are droopy and appear sad, it is said to be a sign that a heavy rainfall is on its way. | |
| Emerald | It intimidates foes with the large eyelike patterns on its antennae. Because it can't fly if its wings get wet, it shelters itself from rain under large trees and eaves. | |
| FireRed | The antennae have distinctive patterns that look like eyes. When it rains, they grow heavy, making flight impossible. | |
| LeafGreen | The antennae have distinctive patterns that look like eyes. When it rains, they grow heavy, making flight impossible. | |
| IV | Diamond | Its antennae have eye patterns on them. Its four wings enable it to hover and fly in any direction. |
| Pearl | Its antennae have eye patterns on them. Its four wings enable it to hover and fly in any direction. |
