Flavor Text

: It violently shudders its wings, generating ultrasonic waves to induce headaches in people.
: The ultrasonic waves it generates by rubbing its two wings together cause severe headaches.

: The ultrasonic waves it generates by rubbing its two wings together cause severe headaches.
: It generates ultrasonic waves by violently flapping its wings. After making its prey faint, it melts the prey with acid.
: To make prey faint, Vibrava generates ultrasonic waves by vigorously making its two wings vibrate. This Pokémon’s ultrasonic waves are so powerful, they can bring on headaches in people.
: Vibrava’s wings have not yet completed the process of growing. Rather than flying long distances, they are more useful for generating ultrasonic waves by vibrating.

: Rather than using its underdeveloped wings for flight, it rubs them together, producing ultrasonic waves to attack its enemies.
: To help make its wings grow, it dissolves quantities of prey in its digestive juices and guzzles them down every day.
: It vibrates its wings to generate ultrasonic waves, causing its prey to faint. Then it buries the prey alive in the sand to preserve it.
: It vibrates its wings to send out odd sound waves. Trainers who are with it need earplugs.
