2. Dartrix
Dartrix’s look is absolutely ridiculous, and its Pokedex entry perfectly matches that. This evolved form of the cute little owl, Rowlet, is basically going through a teenage phase. Dartrix has some fabulous hair, that much is for sure, but boy does it care about its look. Here’s what its entry says,
“Revealing a certain snobbiness in its personality, Dartrix cares a great deal about its appearance, grooming its feathers in every spare moment”
To make matters worse, Dartrix is described as being a birdbrain, and once it screws something up, it just tends to make things worse and worse. The Pokemon’s abilities certainly sound dangerous, though, and its senses are so finely tuned that it can even sense enemies behind it. Dartrix uses sharp-bladed feathers to attack, which it can throw. There’s some serious skill involved here, as the Pokemon can even bend the feathers to change their trajectory, assassin style. It also boasts the Overgrow ability which basically grants a significant boost to the attack power of grass-type moves. Add in the fact that Dartrix is the only one of the evolutions to be more than one type, grass and flying, and you’ve got a pretty strong fighter.
The downside here though, is that it sounds like Dartrix can be pretty temperamental, even leaving battle in some instances.
“At times, this Pokemon feels so bothered by its dirty or ruffled feathers that it can’t focus on battle. When it loses its focus, it sometimes even retires from the battle on the spot! It’s up to each Trainer to help Dartrix overcome this troublesome stage. If this Pokemon is with a Trainer who helps it through, its strength will grow hugely!”
Talk about a self-centered Pokemon.
