Natu (Japanese: ネイティ Naty) is a dual-type Psychic/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into Xatu starting at level 25.

Biology

Natu is a tiny, mostly green avian Pokémon with a nearly spherical body colored in accents of red, yellow, and black. It possesses brightly colored, yellow-and-red wings with thick black stripes. The wings are small and not fully-grown, thus making it unable to fly. However, it can hop and climb tree trunks. Natu has a red crest on the top of its head, and its three-toed feet and three tail feathers are red as well. Natu also has almond-shaped eyes and a yellow beak.

Natu is believed to reside in South America, although it can be found near ruins and in temperate and tropical forests in other areas of the world. Natu usually forages for food on the ground. However, on rare occasions, it will hop onto branches to peck at the tree's new shoots. It also picks food from cactus plants, easily avoiding the buds and spines. Due to its prophetic abilities, Natu is a very cautious Pokémon that is easily spooked. It has the quirky behavior of staring at something until the thing moves.

Natu in Pokémon Adventures

Pokémon Adventures

Crystal owns a female Natu, which first appeared in Slugging It Out With Slugma. Her Psychic attacks allow her to hold her own despite her size. Crystal also uses Natu to provide flight transport over short distances. In Lively Larvitar, the origin of Crystal's Natu is revealed: she, along with Crystal's Parasect, Hitmonchan, and Cubone, were wild Pokémon living in Mt. Mortar and had fought with a local Arcanine that had gone berserk from a severe eye injury. After the ordeal, Natu used her telepathy to detect if enemies were in the area. Sometime between the Gold, Silver & Crystal arc and Emerald arc arcs, she evolved into a Xatu, and with that came increased speed and flight stamina, though she isn't seen battling much.

In The Escape, Will is seen to have a Natu during Silver's flashback of his escape from the Masked Man. It is probably a pre-evolution of the Xatu he used many volumes earlier.

The Battle Tower rented a Natu, which was stolen by Guile Hideout in The Final Battle VII.

Trivia

• Natu shares its category with Pidgey, Spearow, and Rookidee. They are all known as the Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu was known as the Little Bird Pokémon in Generation II.
• Natu is tied with Rookidee as the smallest Flying-type Pokémon.

Origin

Natu appears to be based on a quetzal, a bird family native to North America. It could also be based on other colorful birds like parrot, possibly the kakapo. It also resembles a quail.

Name origin

As revealed in a Penny Arcade Staff Podcast by Jeff Kalles, who assisted in the naming of many Generation II Pokémon, the word Natu is short for nature.^{[citation needed]}

Naty may be derived from native.
