In Legends: Arceus, Dartrix isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Decidueye to unlock its full potential. At 420 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.

What is Dartrix weak to?

In Legends: Arceus, watch for Weavile (Ice), Infernape (Fire), and Salazzle (Poison) when using Dartrix. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Weavile is the most dangerous since Ice moves deal 4x damage. Flying and Rock-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

What is the best ability for Dartrix?

Overgrow strengthens grass moves to inflict 1.5× damage at 1/3 max HP or less. That's the one you want on Dartrix. Long Reach is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.

What role does Dartrix play in battle?

In Legends: Arceus, Dartrix fills the support role. It's a mixed attacker with base 75 Attack and 70 Sp. Atk. At base 52 Speed, it won't be moving first often. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.

Should I use Dartrix?

In Legends: Arceus, Dartrix does the job early-game if you need a Grass/Flying type on your team. Evolve it into Decidueye before the later gyms and it holds up fine through the story.

Dartrix Weakness

Dartrix's Grass/Flying typing leaves it vulnerable to Ice, Fire, Poison, Flying, and Rock. Ice hits land at 4x, so they're the biggest threat. It shrugs off Ground-type attacks completely.

Regularly basks in sunlight to gather power—presumably due to the frigid climate. Nonetheless, the edges of the blade quills set into its wings are keen as ever.
