Tranquill sits in the middle of its evolution line — stronger than Pidove but not yet at full power. Most trainers push through to Unfezant as fast as possible. Flexible enough to run physical or special sets. Introduced in Gen 5.
Attack and Speed carry most of Tranquill's stat budget. Sp. Def's the obvious dump stat. Common in the wild and yields 2 Attack EVs. Follows a 1.06M XP medium-slow curve.
It can return to its Trainer’s location regardless of the distance separating them.
Many people believe that, deep in the forest where Tranquill live, there is a peaceful place where there is no war.
Tranquill Weakness
GoodTranquill is weak to Electric, Ice, and Rock-type moves. On the flip side, it's immune to Ground and Ghost-type moves entirely.
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
- Physical / Special split now per-move (introduced Gen IV)
Partway through Pidove's chain. Tranquill still has another evolution ahead before reaching Unfezant. For breeding, quick to hatch with a decent partner pool via one egg group. Attack has grown the most so far (+22), but there's still another 130 stats to gain in the final evolution.
How to Evolve
Breed with Tranquill to get Pidove eggs easily using 45 partners from the Flying egg group. Notable egg moves include Bestow, Hypnosis, Lucky Chant and 4 more.

Tranquill is meant to evolve into Unfezant. At 358 BST, the stats aren't there for competitive play yet. Pre-evolution Pokemon rarely hold up against fully evolved threats.
Big Pecks is the go-to ability for Tranquill. It protects against Defense drops. Its hidden ability Rivalry can work in specific setups. Super Luck is the other option — pick based on what your team needs.
At base 65 Speed, it won't be moving first often. On offense, Tranquill is a physical attacker with base 77 Attack. Defensively? Fragile — can't afford to take many hits.
