Its tail ends in two points and has another feather sticking out of the base on each side, resembling the on the end of an arrow.
Fletchinder has a flame sac in its belly. It hunts by igniting tall grass and swooping down on bug Pokémon that attempt to escape the blaze. Once captured, the prey is cooked before being consumed.
