21. Official confidential art featuring Decidueye, Incineroar, Primarina, and Mallow was leaked on the Internet on June 4, 2016. This leak happened 145 days before these Pokémon were officially revealed on October 27, 2016. From the leaked material it is known that Decidueye’s code name was “フクロウ 3”, or “Owl 3” during development.

22. Decidueye was originally considered for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but director Masahiro Sakurai decided to go with Incineroar instead.

23. Decidueye is the only non-Mega-Evolved starter Pokemon that has its secondary type changed.

24. Decidueye is based on an owl. It is most similar to the pueo owl in particular, which is a common physical form of the aumakua, ancestral spirits in Hawaiian culture. This may account for its Ghost typing. Additionally, it has some traits similar to the common barn owl – which in some territories is also known as the “ghost owl” – and the extinct stilt-owl. In general, an association between the supernatural and owls was once a very common motif, as they were seen as both bearers of death and disturbed spirits throughout history. Decidueye also shares elements with an archer and common depictions of the English folk hero Robin Hood.

25. Decidueye may be a combination of deciduous, duel, and deadeye or bullseye.

26. A Decidueye appeared in League Offenders and Defenders!, under the ownership of Hau. It evolved from his Dartrix sometime prior to the events of the episode. Decidueye has since made further appearances in Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon.

27. Decidueye debuted in Pushing the Fiery Envelope!, under the ownership of a Trainer participating in a Battle Royal. It was eventually defeated by the Masked Royal’s Incineroar. It reappeared in A Young Royal Flame Ignites!, taking part in another Battle Royal.
