It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Sigilyph is a multicolored, spherical Pokémon, possessing two cyan eyes with a third on a black appendage on top of its head. Its base is mostly black, with a green zigzag pattern in the middle and a black pattern surrounded by green. Sigilyph has a pair of wings and a long tail-like appendage that are yellow with blue and red stripes on each of the "feathers", two black-colored three-toed "feet", and two small spikes at its base.

Sigilyph will use its psychic powers to attack anyone who invades its territory. Due to it retaining memories from when it guarded an ancient city or served as the guardians' emissaries, it apparently flies along the same route constantly.

Major appearances

Sigilyph debuted in White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram, under the ownership of Damon. He used its power to activate the energy harnessed by the Solosis and Duosion in the Sword of the Vale so he could lift it into the sky.

Sigilyph made its main series debut in Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!, where it was one of the guardians of the Hero's Ruin.

In Cloudy Fate, Bright Future!, Carrie used a Sigilyph to attack Professor Sycamore and his assistants Sophie and Cosette, and then to battle Ash. She operated under the belief that they were all the threat to Kalos that Olympia had predicted.

Minor appearances

Multiple wild Sigilyph appeared in White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram. One appeared in the opening sequences of both movies, while the others appeared in a flashback as former residents of the now-relocated Sword of the Vale.

A Sigilyph appeared in Getting More Than You Battled For!.
