Roy's Wattrel (Japanese: ロイのカイデン Roy's Kaiden) is the first Pokémon Roy caught in the Paldea region, and his second overall.
History
As a wild Pokémon
Wattrel first appeared in HZ013 when it stole a sandwich that Roy had made for Fuecoco. Roy chased after Wattrel, until it reached a cliff, where it turned around to face Fuecoco. After a brief confrontation, Roy agreed to share the sandwich, only for Wattrel to steal both halves of it. Soon after, Roy noticed that Wattrel wasn't flying away with others of its kind.
In HZ014, Roy sought Wattrel out again in order to help it learn to fly. Wattrel's fear of heights made this hard, so Roy eventually got the idea of using Ludlow's fishing rod to support Wattrel mid-air while it attempted to fly. This strategy eventually succeeded, allowing Wattrel to fly as high as the others of its kind. Happy to see Wattrel flying, Roy was about to leave, only for Wattrel to fly after him. Taking this as a sign that Wattrel wanted to be caught by Roy, Murdock gave him a Poké Ball to do so. When a sudden gust of wind threw Wattrel off-balance, Roy threw the Poké Ball at it before it could hit the ground, saving it and adding it to his team.
With Roy
In HZ016, Wattrel was used in a battle against Spinel's Magneton alongside Fuecoco. During the battle, Wattrel started a fight with Fuecoco which caused the latter to aim an Ember at Wattrel, unintentionally hitting Magneton instead, taking it out instantly. After Magneton was defeated, the two teammates continued their squabble, which caused Roy to break up the fight and temporarily leave the battle. As their bickering continued in the next episode, Roy was inspired by Friede to have them battle together in order to deepen their friendship and relieve some stress. Their opponent was Captain Pikachu, to whom they lost due to their lack of teamwork. Immediately after, the Brave Asagi flew through a turbulence, during which Wattrel activated its Wind Power Ability in order to boost its Spark and protect Roy from getting hit by a rogue tree branch. Seeing this as an opportunity to overpower Captain Pikachu, Roy, Wattrel, and Fuecoco trained the entire night in preparation for a combo move. The next day, they had their rematch against Captain Pikachu, with Fuecoco launching it and its teammate up by firing Embers downward in order to give Wattrel enough height to catch sufficiently strong winds and activate its Ability. Despite their improved teamwork, Captain Pikachu won once again, though their relationship was shown to have grown more amicable.
Personality and characteristics
Wattrel's fear of heights
Like Roy's Fuecoco, Wattrel has shown to be gluttonous. In its debut, it was seen stealing the Fire Croc Pokémon's sandwich. Despite being a Flying type, it initially had a fear of heights, but it managed to overcome its phobia with Roy's help. After flying for the first time, Wattrel came to enjoy it. Wattrel is noticeably smaller than others of its kind. Wattrel also enjoys the sunlight and doesn’t like when someone blocks the sun, as seen in HZ017.
At first, Wattrel wasn't interested in Roy, acting aggressively towards him even when he tried to share his food with it. However, after Roy help it learn to fly and overcome its fear of heights, Wattrel took a liking to him and refused to leave his side, as it immediately flew back to him as he tried to walk away. This care towards Roy quickly turned to jealousy when compared to Fuecoco, as Wattrel would release a piercing cry whenever Roy and Fuecoco sang together. After growing closer as a team, however, Wattrel felt accepted enough to join them in their singing amicably.
Upon witnessing Captain Pikachu's Electric-type moves, Wattrel started to admire him and aspired to be able to use its electricity to a similar degree.

Trivia
- Wattrel is the first concurrent regional bird Pokémon caught by a main character since Ash's Talonflame, which he caught as a Fletchling in A Battle of Aerial Mobility!, 444 episodes earlier.
- Wattrel's capture was foreshadowed in Heart-Pounding Diary, where it was shown behind the bush running and unable to fly as Roy and Fuecoco passed it. It was later officially captured by Roy in HZ014.
- Wattrel is the first Pokémon belonging to a main character to activate its Ability and have it identified as such in Pokémon Horizons: The Series.
- Wattrel being smaller than most of its kind is based on the fact that you can catch Pokémon that are bigger or smaller than their kind in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.
