Natu is a tiny, mostly greenavianPokémon with a nearly spherical body colored in accents of red, yellow, and black. It possesses brightly colored, yellow-and-red wings with thick black stripes. The wings are small and not fully-grown, thus making it unable to fly. However, it can hop and climb tree trunks. Natu has a red crest on the top of its head, and its three-toed feet and three tail feathers are red as well. Natu also has almond-shaped eyes and a yellow beak.
Natu can be found near ruins and intemperate and tropical forests. Natu usually forages for food on the ground. However, on rare occasions, it will hop onto branches to peck at the tree's new shoots. It also picks food from cactus plants, easily avoiding the buds and spines. Due to its prophetic abilities, Natu is a very cautious Pokémon that is easily spooked. It has the quirky behavior of staring at something until the thing moves.
Because its wings aren't yet fully grown, it has to hop to get around. It is always staring at something.(Pokémon Red, Silver, or Crystal inserted) It usually forages for food on the ground but may, on rare occasions, hop onto branches to peck at shoots.(Pokémon Blue, Gold, or Yellow inserted)
Natu cannot fly because its wings are not yet fully grown. If your eyes meet with thisPokémon's eyes, it will stare back intently at you. But if you move even slightly, it will hop away to safety.
Natu has a highly developed jumping ability. ThePokémon flaps and leaps onto tree branches that are taller than grown-up people to pick at the tree's new shoots.

This Pokémon cannot fly because its wings are not yet fully grown, but it can move by hopping with its outstanding jumping power. It can be seen stretching out its legs while sleeping. This closely resembles the way it moves when it hops onto tree branches.
Natu, theLittle Bird Pokémon. Natuevolves intoXatu and skillfully picks food from cactus plants, avoiding buds and spines. It appears to skip about to move.
Crystal owns a female Natu, which first appeared inSlugging It Out With Slugma. HerPsychic attacks allow her to hold her own despite her size. Crystal also uses Natu to provide flight transport over short distances. InLively Larvitar, the origin of Crystal's Natu is revealed: she, along with Crystal'sParasect,Hitmonchan, andCubone, were wild Pokémon living inMt. Mortar and had fought with a localArcanine that had gone berserk from a severe eye injury. After the ordeal, Natu used her telepathy to detect if enemies were in the area. Sometime between theGold, Silver & Crystal arc andEmerald arc arcs, she evolved into aXatu, and with that came increased speed and flight stamina, though she isn't seen battling much.
InThe Escape,Will is seen to have a Natu duringSilver's flashback of his escape from theMasked Man. It is probably a pre-Evolution of the Xatu he used many volumes earlier.
Natu appears to be based on aquetzal, a bird family native toNorth America. It could also be based on other colorful birds likeparrot, possibly thekakapo. It also resembles aquail.
