Hatchlet

Hatchlet (Japanese: ) is a dual Normal-type and Flying Pokémon.

It evolves into Swamingo starting at level 17 and then in to Flamengo at level 33.

Biology
It hasn’t fully freed itself from its egg shell so it wars it rather awkwardly on its head. It has a habit of running around and bumping into things as it cannot actually see. Despite its light frame, it’s unable to actually fly but it watches Swamingo and Flamengo fly which fills it with a desire to soar above the clouds. It will sometimes bash its head against rocks in order to crack the shell on its head. When it does this, it becomes faster, lighter, and then clumsy.

Design origin
Hatchlet is based on a flamingo chick.

Name Origin
Hatchlet is a combination of hatch and chicklet.

Namihihi is a combination of 波 nami (wave) and ヒヒ hihi (neigh).
