Ekans Pokédex Entries

Red, Blue:Moves silently and stealthily. Eats the eggs of birds, such as PIDGEY and SPEAROW, whole.
Yellow:The older it gets, the longer it grows. At night, it wraps its long body around tree branches to rest.
Gold:It can freely detach its jaw to swallow large prey whole. It can become too heavy to move, however.
Silver:It always hides in grass. When first born, it has no poison, so its bite is painful, but harmless.
Crystal:It flutters the tip of its tongue to seek out the scent of prey, then swallows the prey whole.
Ruby, Sapphire:EKANS curls itself up in a spiral while it rests. Assuming this position allows it to quickly respond to a threat from any direction with a glare from its upraised head.

LeafGreen:Moving silently and stealthily, it eats the eggs of birds, such as PIDGEY and SPEAROW, whole.
