Shield

It can remember only one thing at a time. Once it starts rushing, it forgets why it started.

Legends: Arceus

Ludicrously strong—when it butts heads with a mountain, it is the mountain that shatters. But its short legs struggle with turns, and it is incapable of stopping unless it collides with something.

Generation VII1 entry

A Pokémon with a one-track mind. Once it charges, it won’t stop running until it falls asleep.

Generation VI4 entries
