Ducklett (Japanese: コアルヒー Koaruhie) is a dual-type Water/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves into Swanna starting at level 35.

Contents

Biology

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. It is a talented diver and can spray water from its feathers for self-defense. The foe is distracted by the spray, allowing Ducklett to escape.

Trivia

• Ducklett shares its category with Pelipper. They are both known as the Water Bird Pokémon.

Origin

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 name suggests that 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).
