- Hello, TRAINER! I see you, too, have been caught up in the detective craze. Those Pikachu are quite cute in their hats, eh?
- In the spirit of detective work, I've devised a little deduction game for you. I call it-Pokémon of Interest!
- I'm going to give you a couple clues, and you'll have to deduce which Pokémon I'm talking about. Here we go!
- This Pokémon is known for its green accents, but it's a type of Pokémon that hasn't been appearing around here recently.
- It also peddles in deception. You might say it's not what it seems!
- What do you think, TRAINER? Any ideas? If your deduction is correct, you may just earn some personal congratulations from one of the local Pokémon!

The difference is that it has a different entrance animation with it looking through a magnifying glass.
