Decidueye is based on the concept that he's so sneaky he's basically ghost-like.

Funny how people said Owltair was too edgy when the basic concept of Decidueye is practically the same.
No, not hating on the (official) owl, just on the shitposters that think they know more about Pokemon design than the average person.

Not going to lie, as a cryptidfag you made me like quite a bit now. I'm not 100% sure if I'm using it but I do like it. Now if only we can get a mothman pokemon.
My only regret with Rowlet was that it wasn't the Ghost type I always thought a Barn Owl should be. I watched the Japanese trailer first and didn't even notice the type change...I was so confused by the energy effect around its arrow move.
I am BEYOND hype! Pic related, my favorite photo I've taken of one of my favorite animals.

In SEA it is called burung hantu which translates to ghost bird. And we believe it's an omen of death here if you hear its hooting.
