Ducklett is light-blue, duckling-like Pokémon. It has two feathery tufts on its head that connect at the bottom, forming a V-shape. It has a darker blue, feathery underside which makes it appear as if it were in mid-moult. It has yellow, webbed feet and a small tail.
Ducklett lives around ponds and rivers. Ducklett is not very good at flying yet. Ducklett tends to watch its Swanna parents on how to fly. It is better at swimming than flying. It is a talented diver and can spray water from its feathers for self-defense. Ducklett can increase its strength by diving into the depths of ponds. This helps it search for its favorite food. Ducklett's diet consists of both peat and bog moss. The foe is distracted by the spray, allowing Ducklett to escape.
In The Pirates of Decolore!, a Ducklett was the fourth member of Croconaw's gang. It was responsible for keeping the raft they traveled on from drifting away. Ducklett later joined Officer Jenny's squad after participating in the Darumaka rescue.
These Ducklett were born and raised on the lake in the nature park. They're not great fliers yet, but they'll eventually learn by watching and imitating Swanna.
In Pokémon GO, Ducklett could be obtained by completing 3/5 of the time-limited Special Research, Season of Legends.
Ducklett seems to be based on a duckling or cygnet. Its bottom plumage also resembles a swim ring, while its evolved form has similar plumage that resembles a bikini. Its evolutionary line may also be based on the fairy-tale The Ugly Duckling, in which the "ugly duckling" someday becomes a beautiful swan.
Name origin
Ducklett may be a corruption of ducklet, possibly combined with wet or -ette (suffix meaning small).
Koaruhie may be a combination of 子 ko (child) or 小 ko (small) and a corruption of 家鴨 ahiru (duck).
