Its base is mostly black, with a green zigzag pattern in the middle and a black pattern surrounded by green. Sigilyph has a pair of wings and a long tail-like appendage that are yellow with blue and red stripes on each of the "feathers", two black-colored three-toed "feet", and two small spikes at its base.
Sigilyph is a multicolored, {{wp|totem pole}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, possessing a single cyan eye on its black head, as well as two similar-looking eyespots (distinguishable as such because they never blink) on its body. Its base is mostly black, with a green zigzag pattern in the middle and a black pattern surrounded by green. Sigilyph has a pair of wings and a long tail-like appendage that are yellow with blue and red stripes on each of the "feathers". It has two black "feet" with three toes each and two small spikes at its base. Sigilyph's psychic powers grant it the ability to levitate constantly.


Sigilyph will use its psychic powers to attack anyone who invades its territory. Due to it retaining memories from when it guarded an ancient city, it apparently flies along the same route constantly.
Sigilyph will use its psychic powers to attack anyone who invades its territory. Due to it retaining memories from when it guarded an ancient city or served as the guardians' emissaries, it apparently flies along the same route constantly. Sigilyph lives in deserts and rocky environments.
