Flavor

Detailed flavor page covering all versions

Flavor Text

: This wary Pokémon uses photosynthesis to store up energy during the day, while becoming active at night.
: Silently it glides, drawing near its targets. Before they even notice it, it begins to pelt them with vicious kicks.
: It sends its feathers, which are as sharp as blades, flying in attack. Its legs are strong, so its kicks are also formidable.
: It feels relaxed in tight, dark places and has been known to use its Trainer’s pocket or bag as a nest.

: At a distance, it launches its sharp feathers while flying about. If the enemy gets too close, Rowlet switches tactics and delivers vicious kicks.
: During the day, it builds up energy via photosynthesis. At night, it flies silently through the sky, on the prowl for prey.
