CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Tranquill can travel several kilometers without forgetting the way to its nest or its Trainer. Its memory and speed explain why delivery workers supposedly sometimes choose it as a partner. In the forests where it lives, a legend speaks of a peaceful land untouched by war. The Pokédex distinguishes this story from its well-known ability to find its way home even after a long flight.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Sword credits Tranquill with a memory reliable enough to find its nest after kilometers of travel. Pokémon Shield says delivery workers make use of this ability. Its reliable navigation explains a human use without confirming the forest legend.
