Talk:Dartrix (Pokémon)

Dartrix is extremely sensitive to other presences in the area and can detect opponents behind it and throw feathers to strike them without even seeing them. This Pokémon conceals sharp-bladed feathers inside its wings, showing astounding precision as it sends them flying in attack. And it goes beyond propelling its blade quills in simple straight lines—it can even bend these feathers to change their trajectories!

Revealing a certain snobbiness in its personality, Dartrix cares a great deal about its appearance, grooming its feathers in every spare moment. In truth, it’s also a bit of a birdbrain, with a tendency to bungle things up. Once it makes a mistake, it sometimes gets into a desperate struggle to gloss over the situation and ends up making a bigger mess than ever.

At times, this Pokémon 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 Pokémon is with a Trainer who helps it through, its strength will grow hugely!

Thanks, but we can seen exactly what it says on the site for ourselves. Information like this should be put in the editor's own words and then cited before being added (see other Gen VII Pokemon for reference). In proper writing, we'd have to put all of that in quotations and state in the text where it was from if we were to copy it word for word like that. That goes against the general style of the wiki.

Russian name

The Russian name is Дартрикс so if someone could add that that would be great c: --Celadonkey (talk) 15:26, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Name origin - German

I'd say the name is composed of arbor (Latin for tree) and the English word toss. At least I can't think of anything else. - unsigned comment from HQna (talk • contribs)

Name origin - French

In "Efflèche", the "eff" part likely comes from "(chouette) effraie" (barn owl) https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chouette_effraie - unsigned comment from Azalee (talk • contribs)

Design elements

It might be worth noting to whoever is writing the physical appearance section that the brown area resembles both a Waistcoat and a Coconut, while the orange quills within the green feathers resemble seeds protruding from a seed pod/ petals emerging from a bud.
