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, totem pole-like Pokémon, possessing a single cyan eye on its black head, as well as two similar-looking eyespots (distinguishable as such because they never blink) on its body. 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". It has two black "feet" with three toes each and two small spikes at its base. Sigilyph's psychic powers grant it the ability to levitate constantly.
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 or served as the guardians' emissaries, it apparently flies along the same route constantly. Sigilyph lives in deserts and rocky environments.
In the anime
Main series
Major appearances
Sigilyph debuted in White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram, under the ownership of Damon. He used its power to activate the energy harnessed by the Solosis and Duosion in the Sword of the Vale so he could lift it into the sky.
Sigilyph made its main series debut in Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!, where it was one of the guardians of the Hero's Ruin.
In Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!, Carrie used a Sigilyph to attack Professor Sycamore and his assistants Sophie and Cosette, and then to battle Ash. She operated under the belief that they were all the threat to Kalos that Olympia had predicted.
Minor appearances
Multiple wild Sigilyph appeared in White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram. One appeared in the opening sequences of both movies, while the others appeared in a flashback as former residents of the now-relocated Sword of the Vale.
A Sigilyph appeared in Getting More Than You Battled For!.
A Trainer's Sigilyph appeared in It's... Champion Time!.

Trivia
- Sigilyph is the only Pokémon that can have the Ability Wonder Skin which does not have it as a Hidden Ability.
- Excluding Flying-type Arceus, Sigilyph is the only Pokémon that can learn Gravity by leveling up and can effectively ground itself with this move.
- Sigilyph was designed by Keiko Moritsugu.[1]
- Sigilyph's English category, "Avianoid", may be a combination of avian (pertaining to birds) and -oid (suffix derived from an Ancient Greek word meaning "form" or "likeness"). The name can be taken to mean "bird-like creature".
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 or a totem pole; the latter of which is found throughout the United States and Canada.
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 the agentive suffix -er. It may also involve bora (a type of wind) or Ra (the Ancient Egyptian falcon-headed sun god).
