Rowlet Sprites
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.
Rowlet's Japanese name is Mokuroh (モクロー). Here are all the official names for Rowlet across different languages:
