Quaxly is a Water type Pokémon in the franchise of the same name. It was introduced into the ninth generation. It is one of the three First partner Pokémon in Scarlet and Violet. It evolves into Quaxwell at level 16 and then into Quaquaval.
Physiology and Behavior[]
Quaxly is a duck-like Pokémon. It has a yellow beak, blue eyes and blue webbed feet. It has a large blue crest that covers its head with a feathery tuft in the front and a white curvy line. Quaxly's coif has a smooth feel thanks to the rich, moist cream that holds it. The coif can become unkempt should it get dry.
Quaxly is earnest and tidy. It regularly tries to maintain the tuft on its head. Quaxly's strong legs allow it to swim without issues, even in strong currents. It also uses its legs to repeatedly kick its foes with swift speed.
