Sigilyph (Japanese: シンボラー Symboler) is a dual-type Psychic/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology[]

Sigilyph is a multicolored spherical Pokémon, possessing two cyan eyes with a third on a black appendage on top of its head. Its base is mostly black, with a green zigzag pattern in the middle and a black pattern surrounded by green. Sigilyph has a pair of wings and a long tail-like appendage that are yellow with blue and red stripes on each of the "feathers", two black-colored three-toed "feet", and two small spikes at its base.

Sigilyph will use its psychic powers to attack anyone who invades its territory. Due to it retaining memories from when it guarded an ancient city, it apparently flies along the same route constantly.

Trivia[]

Sigilyph is the only Pokémon that can have the Ability Wonder Skin which does not have it as a Hidden Ability.

Origin[]

Sigilyph appears to have been inspired by the Nazca Lines, specifically the avian figures, and kachina dolls. Like Sigilyph, the Nazca Lines are found in a desert. It also resembles a wind chime.

Name origin[]

Sigilyph may be a combination of sigil and glyph. It may also draw its name from sylph, a mythological spirit of the air.

Symboler may be a combination of symbol and bora or Ra.
