RuffletAstral Radiance #131 Pokémon Card

Rufflet is known as the Eaglet Pokémon, a Normal/Flying type introduced in Generation V, originating from the Unova region. As its name suggests, Rufflet is characterized by its feisty, "ruffle-tuff" demeanor, despite its small stature. Its Pokédex entries consistently highlight its hotheadedness and its relentless drive to challenge its parents, Braviary, at every opportunity, desperate to prove its strength. This behavior is a crucial part of its development, as it hones its battling skills and prepares for its eventual evolution. Rufflet’s natural habitat often includes mountainous regions and open plains where it can practice its flying and hunting techniques. Its diet primarily consists of smaller Pokémon and berries. In the games, Rufflet is exclusive to certain versions (e.g., Pokémon Black and Sun), often requiring trades to complete the Pokédex. In the anime, Rufflet has made appearances showcasing its youthful exuberance and its journey towards maturity, often depicted alongside its evolved form, Braviary, emphasizing the family bond and the learning process. Culturally, Rufflet represents the spirit of youth, ambition, and the universal desire to grow strong and independent.
