Alolan Decidueye, introduced in Generation VII, is an owl-like Pokémon with fascinating features to consider while drawing:

- The body is primarily white, hinting at a distinct six-pack, creating an interesting contrast with light brown feathers on its wings and back.
- Legs are long and have two forward-facing and two backward-facing toes with short dark green claws.
- The tail is made up of three long, green leaves, which is a signature trait.
- A green leafy hood envelops its head and shoulders.
- An orange, X-shaped marking on its chest represents dead leaves with two vines, a feature that complements its Ghost-type traits.
