Sun | It has a cunning yet savage disposition. It waits for parents to leave their nests, and then it sneaks in to steal their eggs. |
Moon | It uses its claws to poke holes in eggs so it can slurp out the insides. Breeders consider it a scourge and will drive it away or eradicate it. |
Ultra Sun | They will cooperate to steal eggs from the nests of bird Pokémon, but fights break out to determine which one gets to eat the eggs. |

Violet | This is a smart and sneaky Pokémon. A pair may work together to steal eggs by having one lure the parents away. |
