Fletchling (Japanese: ヤヤコマ, HepburnYayakoma) (FLETCH-ling[1]) is a Normal/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Fletchling is a small bird-like Pokémon. It has a bright orange head and a mostly pale purplish-gray body. The tips of its grayish wings are white, and it has a small black and white striped tail. It has round black eyes, a small black beak, and tiny black feet and talons.

Behavior[]

Fletchling is highly docile and fond to people, especially trainers. They emit beautiful chirps to listeners and bird-watchers. In battle, Fletchling is volatile, being hasty, swift and relentless. Fletchling is also shown to have great determination, as one hardly shows any signs of "chickening-out" from battles.

Although mostly amicable, Fletching in the wild are still rather territorial. In fact, they will mercilessly attack anyone that they deem as intruders that enter their territories by ignoring their melodious warning cries.

Natural abilities[]

A Fletchling is known for its constantly warm body, which is helpful for Trainers living in cold areas to stay warm. However, a person must never touch this Pokémon unexpectedly, as doing so will result in them getting burned from the excited or startled Fletchling.

Evolution[]

Fletchling evolves into Fletchinder at level 17 and then into Talonflame at level 35.

Appearances[]

Anime[]

Fletchling first appeared in the first Episode of X and Y series under the owner ship of Grace. Ash Ketchum caught one in A Battle of Aerial Mobility!.

Trivia[]

  • Fletchling resembles the Flying-type Pokémon sprite in Red and Blue versions.
  • Fletchling's eye looks similar to another bird. For instance, when it looks from the left side, the bird on its eye looks right.
  • In Super Smash Bros., Fletchling is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Peck.
  • Fletchling is the only Normal/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Origin[]

Fletchling is based on a robin, specifically a Japanese robin. It also appears to be based on a dart of an arrow due to its tail feather design and coloration.

Etymology[]

Fletchling comes from fletch (a material in archery that serves as the stabilizer for the arrows) and hatchling (a newborn animal hatched from an egg in which the name is most commonly used for birds).
