Biology
Fletchling is a small, avian Pokémon similar in appearance to a robin. It has a reddish-orange head with a triangular yellow mark on the back of each eye. Its body and wings are gray, and there are white tips on the wings. It has a long, black tail with a white V-shaped marking near the tip. The tail ends in two points and has two feathers sticking out at the base, resembling the fletching on the end of an arrow. Its legs, small beak, and eyes are black. The legs are thin and spindly, with two toes facing forward and one facing backward on each foot.
Fletchling is said to be very friendly and is well known for its beautiful songs, which are in fact sounds of warning. It communicates by using chirps and moving its tailfeathers to signal others of its kind. In spite of its typically peaceful disposition, it is relentless in battle and very territorial, attacking perceived threats mercilessly. Its body is warm and doubles in temperature when startled or excited. This increase in temperature spikes hormone production in its body. It can burn someone if they touch it with their bare hands. Fletchling live in both rural and urban areas, and once had massive territorial fights with Squawkabilly in the Paldea region.
Fletchling and its Evolutions are the only known Pokémon that can have Gale Wings as an Ability.

Trivia
Fletchling is the only regional bird Pokémon to have its primary type changed upon Evolution.
Fletchling was designed by Saya Tsuruta.[1]
Origin
Fletchling seems to be based on a Japanese robin. Its tail design and name might suggest that it was also based in part on an arrow.
Name origin
Fletchling may be a combination of fletching (fin-shaped stabilizers on arrows, typically made from feathers) and fledgling or hatchling.
Yayakoma may be a combination of 矢 ya (arrow), 稚児 yayako (baby), and 駒鳥 komadori (Japanese robin).
