Decidueye (Japanese: ジュナイパー Junaiper) is a dual-type Grass/Ghost Pokémon.

It evolves from Dartrix starting at level 34. It is the final form of Rowlet.

Biology

Decidueye is a tall, avian Pokémon that resembles an owl. The upper portion of its face is black with a thin, orange mask-like marking encircling its eyes. Its eyes are reddish-orange and it has a hooked dark green beak. The feathers covering its wings and back are brown, while its body is primarily white. The three feathers at the tip of each wing are structured similar to fingers and have lighter tips. The backs of its wings and torso are dotted with many white spots; the inside of each wing has a line of upside-down, reddish-orange triangles across the top. It has long legs, feet with two-toes facing forward and one backward, and short dark green talons. It tail consists of three long, green leaves.

A leafy hood covers its head and shoulders, and partially covers its face. The hood is smoothly draped across the shoulders and back, but has uneven edges. Around the head, the hood forms many pointed projections that extend over its face. A single white feather with a red base extends from the top of its hood. In the center of its chest is a reddish-orange x-shaped formed by dead leaves with two thin green vines extending from it. Pulling on the vines closes the hood further over Decidueye's face.

While this Pokémon is cool and cautious by nature, it begins to panic if surprised. It can hide from opponents by masking its presence, allowing it to attack unaware foes. It takes only a tenth of a second for it pluck, aim, and fire an arrow quill from its wings. It is not only quick, but also accurate, capable of striking targets over half a mile away.

Trivia

• Decidueye is the lightest final form of a starter Pokémon, weighing 80.7 lbs. (36.6 kg).
• Decidueye is the only Pokémon in the Flying egg group that is not a Flying-type.

Origin

Decidueye may be inspired by an archer and an owl. In particular, it is similar to the pueo owl, which is a common physical form of the aumakua or ancestor spirits in Hawaiian culture. This may account for its Ghost typing. Additionally, it has some traits in common with the extinct stilt-owl and the common barn owl.

Name origin

Decidueye may be a combination of deciduous, duel, and deadeye.

Junaiper may be a combination of 樹 ju (tree), juniper, and sniper.
