Biology
Beautifly is a butterfly-like Pokémon with two pairs of wings. It has large blue eyes and black antennae with rounded tips. Its face, underside, and four stubby limbs are gray, while the rest of its body is black. The main body of its wings are black with large, yellow markings, and smaller red and blue markings. The upper pair of wings are larger and have a line of yellow along the top edge, while each of the lower wings has a long, round-tipped extension on the bottom. The female's wings have smaller red spots than the male's.
Beautifly has a long and curled black proboscis that it uses to drain bodily fluids from its prey. Additionally, this aggressive Pokémon will jab at foes with its proboscis if it is disturbed while collecting pollen. Beautifly is easily recognized by the colorful pattern on its wings. Its favorite food is nectar. The preferred habitats of a Beautifly are forests.

Trivia
- Beautifly shares its category with Butterfree. They are both known as the Butterfly Pokémon.
- Previously, Beautifly and its evolutionary counterpart Dustox shared the same base stats, with Beautifly's Attack and Special Attack swapped with Dustox's Defense and Special Defense. This changed after Generation VI when Beautifly received a ten-point increase to its Special Attack, but Dustox did not receive a stat increase.
Origin
Beautifly seems to be based on a swallowtail butterfly, particularly the common yellow swallowtail due to the shape and colors of its wings. Its ability to pierce prey with its proboscis is similar to a vampire moth or a mosquito.
Name origin
Beautifly may be a combination of beauty and butterfly. It could also be a play on beautify (to improve the appearance of).
Agehunt may be a combination of 揚羽蝶 agehachō (swallowtail butterfly) and hunt (referring to its aggressive nature).
