PALIJ's curiously-shaped feathers allow it to create friction in the air as it flaps its wings. Sparks trail off of its feathers when it flies.
Biology
Physiology
Palij is a medium-sized bird Pokémon with orange feathers on its body. It has a long, multicolored plume on its head with two smaller feathers on the side. It has white feathers around its eye. Its wingtips are green and the feathers are uniquely shaped in order to create friction in the air when it flies.
Special abilities
Palij's wings ignite the oxygen in the air as they fly, trailing sparks behind them as they go.
Behavior
Very friendly and social Pokémon. Palij are intelligent and can be taught to repeat phrases back at their trainers.
Habitat
In the wild, they form large flocks with others of their species. Sometimes the sparks they trail behind will set small fires, but there are always water Pokémon around to put them out.
