Quaxly is a white duckling-like Pokémon with yellow beak and blue eyes. It has teal webbed feet and a large teal coif-like crest covering its head, featuring a feathery tuft in front and a white curvy line shaped like a wave. The coif has a smooth feel due to rich, moist cream that holds it. However, if the coif gets dry, it can become unkempt. Quaxly is an earnest and tidy Pokémon that tends to overthink things. Its feathers secrete a glossy gel protecting its body against water and grime. It hates getting dirty, especially on its head. Despite being found in Paldea, Quaxly did not originate there but migrated from distant lands long ago. Quaxly evolves into Quaxwell, which then evolves into Quaquaval.
