Flavor Text

: It’s said that while this Pokémon has the power to predict the future, it’s not powerful enough to change the future it sees.
: While it can see the future, it has no desire to change it, which is probably why it remains motionless at all times.

: They say that it stays still and quiet because it is seeing both the past and future at the same time.
: This odd Pokémon can see both the past and the future. It eyes the sun’s movement all day.
