It relies on sound in order to monitor what’s in its vicinity. When angered, it will attack without ever changing the direction it’s facing.
Shield
If you see its orange crystals start to glow, be wary. It’s about to fire off bursts of energy.
Sword
Its orange crystals are lumps of powerful energy. They’re valuable, so Boldore is sometimes targeted for them.
Ultra Moon
The energy overflowing from its body has turned into orange crystals that are hard enough to smash diamonds.
Ultra Sun
It explores caves in search of underground water. It’s not comfortable around water, so this Pokémon takes great care in lapping it up.
Moon
Its orange crystal is a mass of energy. Just one crystal fragment would provide enough fuel for a hundred dump trucks.
Sun
When it is healthy, its core sticks out. Always facing the same way, it swiftly moves front to back and left to right.
Black 2 · White 2 · Y · Alpha Sapphire
Because its energy was too great to be contained, the energy leaked and formed orange crystals.
White · X · Omega Ruby
When it overflows with power, the orange crystal on its body glows. It looks for underground water in caves.
