Hawlucha (Japanese: ルチャブル, Hepburn: Ruchaburu) (haw-LOO-cha) is a Fighting/Flying-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

Biology

Physiology

Hawlucha is a bipedal, avian Pokémon. Its underside is mostly white with colorful plumage. It has a mask-like face with green markings and orange around its eyes and top of its head with three orange feathers sticking out. Its eyes have black sclera with yellow irises, and the end of its beak is red and has two nostrils. Its back is red and its wings are cape-like with green underside. Its wings have three claws and are connected to its tail. Its feet are yellow with three toes.

Behavior

Despite its small size, Hawlucha is capable of fighting other Fighting-type Pokémon. It attacks by staying in their blind spots, such as from above, considering that they are also part Flying-type.

Hawlucha uses its small body frame to tire out larger opponents before finishing them with a flashy and stylish move. However, it tends to become a show-off after performing such a technique and most opponents take advantage of this to win.

Hawlucha in Paldea tend to be solitary, preferring quiet lifestyles and usually do not flock together. For this reason, they despise Primeape and frequently fight noisy groups of them.

Natural abilities

Hawlucha is the only known Pokémon to naturally learn Flying Press, a move that does both Fighting-type and Flying-type damage.

Evolution

Hawlucha doesn't evolve.

Trivia

• Hawlucha is the only Flying-type Pokémon that is in the Human-Like Egg Group.
• Hawlucha was added to the Flying Egg Group in Generation VIII after previously only being in the Human-Like Egg Group.
• Hawlucha is the only Pokémon that is both in the Flying and Human-Like Egg Groups.
• Hawlucha, despite being a Mexican themed Pokémon, was introduced in Kalos is because of the historic relationship between France and Mexico. The French established multiple monarchies in Mexico, but were later forced out due to Mexican forces fighting back. Thus, Hawlucha was introduced in Kalos, which was based on France, as a reference of how the outnumbered Mexican forces retaliated.

Origin

Hawlucha resembles a bird of prey, most notably the red-tailed hawk, and a luchador (a kind of Mexican wrestler). Its coloration is also similar to a quetzal or the flag of Mexico. It may also draw inspiration from eagle knights of the Aztec army.

Etymology

Hawlucha comes from hawk and lucha libre.

Its Japanese name, Ruchaburu, comes from lucha libre and bull.
