Pokédex entries

Sword Through its nose, it sucks in the emanations produced by people and Pokémon when they feel annoyed. It thrives off this negative energy.
Shield It sneaks into people’s homes, stealing things and feasting on the negative energy of the frustrated occupants.
Scarlet The reason this Pokémon causes trouble for those it feels close to is because Impidimp itself gets irritable if it can’t absorb negative emotions.
Violet They live in groups, pestering and playing pranks on each other to polish their troublemaking skills.
