Dartrix

Dartrix in the anime

Dartrix debuted in No Stone Unturned! under Hau's ownership, defeating Ash's Rowlet before a rematch the next day where it was knocked out by Bloom Doom. It evolved into a Decidueye prior to League Offenders and Defenders!.

Dartrix's origins and cards

Dartrix is based on an owl, most closely resembling the common barn owl introduced to Hawaii, the region behind Alola, with its Grass typing possibly nodding to grass owls or the local pueo owl known for flying over grassy areas. Its Sun & Moon debut as an Uncommon illustrated by Mizue was followed by Hidden Fates' Shiny rare by Shigenori Negishi, echoed later by Shining Fates' own Shiny rare from Masakazu Fukuda. Darkness Ablaze, Astral Radiance, Obsidian Flames, Shrouded Fable, and the Mega Evolution era's Perfect Order each added further printings.
