9.

It may be cute, but it's weak.

 

[CF1994]

8.

It tends to teleport before you can catch it.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

7.

Its level-up movepool could've been better.

 

[CF1994]

6.

It is usually found by the time you have over a few badges, making Xatu relatively easy to catch.

From ORAS onwards, the latter can at least learn Air Slash.

5.

I don't particularly care about this line either way.
If I want a Psychic/Flying type I'd probably go for a Sigilyph.
Or potentially a Hisui Braviary, but I've yet to use one.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

4.

The only Psychic/Flying types I'd say are worse are the Woobat line, and maybe Pa'u Oricorio too.

 

[CF1994]

3.

There sure are a lot of round shapes with Johto mons.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

2.

This line got added to the Alola dex in USUM.

1.

Natu is tied with Rookidee for the smallest Flying-type Pokémon.

 

[CF1994]

0.

Natu has been shooed out of the Ruins of Alph.

It is time to judge Xatu.

[FeraligatrMaster]

11.

I think Xatu is alright.

 

[ReKoil]

12.

Indifferent on it.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

13.

Its hidden ability is Magic Bounce.

 

[ReKoil]

14.

Male Xatu have an extra yellow stripe on their body.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

15.

Elite Four Will has 2 of these Pokemon.

 

[Zeostar]

16. It grew on me.

 

[ReKoil]

17.

Xatu evolves from Natu at level 25.

 

[CF1994]

18.

Xatu has alright Sp. Atk and Speed, which makes it a respectable hard-hitter for most playthroughs.

Really like these designs! Just wish they weren't available in such hard to reach places in GSC.

20. For old times' sake, saved!

Now for the real star of the show... Mareep!
