Biology

Dartrix puts significant care into its appearance, grooming its plumage whenever it has spare time. It has a snobby attitude, and its preoccupation with any dirt on its plumage may cause it to become distracted from battle.

  1. Regularly basks in sunlight to gather power—presumably due to the frigid climate. Nonetheless, the edges of the blade quills set into its wings are keen as ever.

    Legends: Arceus
  2. It never slacks when it comes to the task of cleaning its feathers. Thorough preening keeps it looking spiffy and its blade quills nice and sharp.

    Shield
  3. It throws one knifelike feather after another at its enemies, and each one precisely strikes a weak point. These feathers are known as blade quills.

    Sword
  4. Supremely sensitive to the presence of others, it can detect opponents standing behind it, flinging its sharp feathers to take them out.

    Ultra Moon
  5. This narcissistic Pokémon is a clean freak. If you don’t groom it diligently, it will stop listening to you.

    Ultra Sun
  6. It throws sharp feathers called blade quills at enemies or prey. It seldom misses.

    Moon
  7. A bit of a dandy, it spends its free time preening its wings. Its preoccupation with any dirt on its plumage can leave it unable to battle.
