It has a black tuft of two feathers on its head and a petal-like arrangement of feathers on the nape of its neck. There is a black stripe on each of its light gray, black-tipped wings. Each of its pink feet has black talons. It possesses a long tail feather that is tipped in black.

Trivia

• Tranquill is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 358.

Origin

Tranquill is based on an oriental turtle dove. Judging from its Pokédex entries, Tranquill may also be based on the homing pigeon, a domestic pigeon bred to find its way home over extremely long distances. Its design is similar to that of the greater roadrunner or secretarybird.

Name origin

Tranquill may be a combination of tranquil (calm or unstressed) and quill (a feather from the tail of a bird).

Hatoboh may be a combination of 鳩 hato (pigeon) and 坊 bō (boy, monk). It may also be derived from イーハトーヴ Ihatov (also spelled イーハトーヴォ/イーハトーボ Ihatovo), a fictional ideal world mentioned in some of Kenji Miyazawa's works. The Pokédex entries in Pokémon White, X and Omega Ruby say, "Many people believe that, deep in the forest where Tranquill live, there is a peaceful place where there is no war," which might be a reference to Miyazawa's utopia.
