Article: The basis behind Obstagoon to Sirfetch’d

Another one in the series! LMK if you have any ideas or observations on what these Pokemon are also based on.

A fun bit of information about the Galarian Zigzagoon line supporting both them and the Hoennian Zigzagoon line being badgers, is that they mimic the real world branches of badgers. Badgers in Japan (which are brown with small black markings) split off from the early European badger after the island separated from the mainland (to give a simplified account - there was the Korean badger as an inbetween). This helps reaffirm the basis that the Galarian line is canonically the original Zigzagoon variant, mimicking real life.

Ah, that's cool to know! Thanks for sharing that.

The Pokemon company sure does get into the very fibre of culture of the region they are going to base their next region on! Knew nothing about Obstagoon except it being based on Kiss. And since Cramorant's release, i've been messing up my biology questions,XD. When I want to say cormortant, i end up with cramorant. Thanks for the information anyway!
