Dartrix (Japanese: フクスロー, Hepburn: Fukusuroo) (DAR-trix[1]) is a Grass/-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VII. It is the middle-evolved form of Rowlet, and evolves into Decidueye.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Dartrix is an owl-like Pokémon. Its plumage is white, but it has brown feathers on his head, shoulders and back. Its heart-shaped, facial disc is also white, and it has black eyes with dim irises that normally seem shut, a squat beak that has a white upper jaw and orange-dark colored lower jaw, and two short tufts of quills on the back of its head. Two green leaves bend around its face, looking like an asymmetric haircut; the leaf on its right is longer than the one on the left. Under its chin are two smaller leaves that resemble a bow tie, 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 near the body on the underside. Inside the leaves under its wings are two orange-dark colored items like seeds. Dartrix has orange-dark colored claws with two toes confronting forward and one confronting in reverse.
Behavior[]
Revealing a certain snobbishness in their personalities, Dartrix care a great deal about their appearances, grooming their feathers in every spare moment. Such meticulous grooming is for sharpening their feathers in their case for self defense. They also bask themselves in sunlight to store up their own energy. If their trainers are too sloppy to pamper and tidy them, they will become quite disobedient.
In truth, they're also a bit of a birdbrain, with a tendency to bungle things up. Once they make a mistake, they sometimes get into a desperate struggle to gloss over the situation and end up making a bigger mess than ever. Their obsession with maintaining self-tidiness has the potential to be detrimental to others; should their feathers become dirty or ruffled, they will become unable to focus on battle. Should this occur, they might even retire from the battle on the spot.
Natural abilities[]
Dartrix are extremely sensitive to other presences in the area around it and can detect opponents behind it and throw feathers to strike them without even seeing them. This Pokémon conceal sharp-bladed feathers inside their wings, showing astounding precision as they send them flying in attack. They can go beyond propelling their blade quills in simple straight lines—they can even bend these feathers to change their trajectories.
Evolution[]
Dartrix is the evolved form of Rowlet as of level 17. It evolves into Decidueye at level 34.
In Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Dartrix evolves into Hisuian Decidueye at level 36.

Trivia[]
- While Dartrix's eyes are often closed, it sometimes opens them in Pokémon Refresh and in the anime to express facial expression. In the anime, Dartrix's opened eyes can be as sharp as an eagle, much like its evolution, Decidueye.
- Dartrix's in-game battle animation has it constantly pushing its bangs out of its face.
- It bears some similarity to the Eleventh Doctor from Doctor Who, due to the bangs and leaves resembling coiffed hair and a bow tie.
Origin[]
Dartrix is based on the barn owl, as it has a similar appearance. Its floppy bangs resemble those of the stereotypical snobbish metro image.
Etymology[]
Dartrix comes from dart (referring to the sharp leaves that it throw like darts) and Strix (a genus of owls). It may also incorporate tricks, akin to its trick shot abilities.
