: When it overflows with power, the orange crystal on its body glows. It looks for underground water in caves.
: Because its energy was too great to be contained, the energy leaked and formed orange crystals.
: When it is healthy, its core sticks out. Always facing the same way, it swiftly moves front to back and left to right.

: Its orange crystal is a mass of energy. Just one crystal fragment would provide enough fuel for a hundred dump trucks.
: It explores caves in search of underground water. It’s not comfortable around water, so this Pokémon takes great care in lapping it up.
: The energy overflowing from its body has turned into orange crystals that are hard enough to smash diamonds.
: Its orange crystals are lumps of powerful energy. They’re valuable, so Boldore is sometimes targeted for them.
