Dartrix (Japanese: フクスロー Fukuthrow) is a dual-type Grass/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.

It evolves from Rowlet starting at level 17 and evolves into Decidueye starting at level 34.

In Hisui, Dartrix evolves from Rowlet starting at level 17 and evolves into Hisuian Decidueye starting at level 36.

Biology

Dartrix is an avian Pokémon that resembles an owl. Most of its plumage, including its heart-shaped facial disc, is white, but it has dark brown feathers covering its head, shoulders, and back. Its large eyes contain dark irises and usually appear closed. It also has a stubby beak with a white upper jaw and an orange-brown lower jaw, and a few short tufts of feathers on the back of its head. Two green leaves curve around its face, resembling an asymmetric cut; the leaf on its right is longer than the one on the left. Under its chin are two smaller leaves that resemble a bowtie, and there are two pointed ones on its rear that form its tail. Its wings have two tan spots on the upper side and leafy plumage close to the body on the underside. Within the leaves under its wings are two sharp orange-brown feathers known as blade quills. Dartrix has orange-brown talons with two toes facing forward and one facing backward.

This alert Pokémon is sensitive to the presence of others around it, and is capable of launching attacks on unseen enemies behind it. It propels its blade quills at enemies or prey with astounding precision. By bending the feathers, it can even alter the trajectory of its strikes. However, it can occasionally miss hitting at times. Dartrix is narcissistic by nature, spending a lot of time grooming its feathers to maintain its appearance. This compulsion will occasionally lead to it losing focus when its plumage is ruffled or dirty, even retiring from battle to preen. It has been described as a bit of a birdbrain as it has a tendency to make mistakes; when it does, it sometimes tries to cover it up, which ends up making the situation worse. A Trainer who helps Dartrix through this difficult stage of its life will allow it to reach its full strength.[1] Conversely, Dartrix will refuse to listen to a Trainer who doesn't diligently help it groom.

In Hisui, Dartrix tends to expose itself to sunlight in order to gain power, presumably due to the region's cold climate. As a result of the harsh environment, Dartrix becomes more sturdy when it evolves into Hisuian Decidueye, gaining the Fighting type instead of the Ghost type.

Dartrix and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon that can have the Ability Long Reach.

Sun 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.
Moon It throws sharp feathers called blade quills at enemies or prey. It seldom misses.
Ultra Sun This narcissistic Pokémon is a clean freak. If you don't groom it diligently, it will stop listening to you.
Ultra Moon Supremely sensitive to the presence of others, it can detect opponents standing behind it, flinging its sharp feathers to take them out.

Sword 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.*
Shield 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.*
Legends: Arceus 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.

Trivia

Origin

Dartrix appears to be based on owls such as the barn owl or the stilt-owl. The two leaves around its face specifically appears to be inspired by the noticeable outer rim around the facial disc of the Hawaiian pueo owl. The leaves under its beak make the shape of a bow tie, appropriate for its dandy character. The strands of "hair" on Dartrix possibily evoke the leaves from a seedling sprouting from a seed.

Name origin

Dartrix may be a combination of dart and Strix (a genus of owls) or tricks.

Fukuthrow may be a combination of 梟 fukurō (owl) and throw.
