Dartrix
#723 in the Sword and Shield Pokédex • Blade Quill Pokémon
Sword
It throws one knifelike feather after another at its enemies, and each one precisely strikes a weak point. These feathers are known as blade quills.
Shield
It never slacks when it comes to the task of cleaning its feathers. Thorough preening keeps it looking spiffy and its blade quills nice and sharp.
