Dustchic live and nest in large groups, collectively scattering toxic powder from their wings to ward off predators. If any Dustchic becomes lost, the rest of the group will spit fire into the sky so the light will guide them back.
If attacked, it strikes back by spitting balls of fire it forms in its stomach. It is a nocturnal Pokémon that flies from fields and mountains to the attraction of streetlights at night.
