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.  At the time, Nintendo's English translators were looking to have a Pokémon for every letter of the alphabet, so they could create a letters book for the younger audience.  Kalles read that the word Xatu is a kind of totem pole, and assigned that name to the evolved form of this Pokémon, while assigning this pre-evolved form the abbreviated form of the word Nature.

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

It evolves into Xatu starting at level 25.

Biology

Natu is a tiny, mostly green bird Pokémon with a nearly spherical body, and 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 be native to South America, although it can be found near ruins and in 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.

In the manga

Natu in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Crystal owns a Natu which she first appeared in Slugging It Out With Slugma, whose 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 her came increased speed and flight stamina, though she isn't seen battling much.

In Volume 22, Will is seen to have a Natu during Silver's flashback of his escape from the Masked Man, probably a pre-evolution of the Xatu he used many volumes earlier.

In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga

A Natu appeared in The Gym Challenges Begin!! where Falkner used it to battle Clefairy.

Trivia

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

Origin

Natu appears to be based on a parrot. 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. At the time, Nintendo's English translators were looking to have a Pokémon for every letter of the alphabet, so they could create a letters book for the younger audience. They did not have a creature for the letter X, as there had been no English-language Pokémon with X as the first letter of their name. Kalles read that the word Xatu is a kind of totem pole, and assigned that name to the evolved form of this Pokémon, while assigning this pre-evolved form the abbreviated form of the word Nature.
