Batwig

Batwig is a Grass-type starter Pokemon introduced in Pokemon West and East in June 1990, replacing Grassardinal. It evolves to Echoak at level 16, which evolves to Terosideye in level 36. Along with Crispigeon and Puppond, Batwig was introduced in the 1990 starter Pokemon update.

Description Batwig resembles a small bat with green ears. It has green wings, pink hands, pink tuft, green feet, and a leaf like tail, which is typically almost unseen due to the wings covering it. It may be a mix of a dragon and a bat.
