📖 Pokédex entry in English and Japanese
Numel stores magma of almost 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit within its body. If it gets wet, the magma cools and hardens. In that event, the Pokémon’s body grows heavy and its movements become sluggish.体内に約2,200度のマグマを蓄えています。濡れるとマグマが固まり、体が重くなって動きが鈍ります。
The Japanese text is a translation of the English entry, written with kanji, hiragana and katakana. Try to spot the katakana words!
