14. Whiscash may be a combination of whisker and mustache, referring to the long whiskers it has. Cash may also be a contraction of catfish.
 
18. Corphish's tendency to say "Hey, hey!" in such games as Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure is a reference to its Japanese name "Heigani".
 
12. Crawdaunt's name and appearance suggest that it is based on a red swamp crayfish, with its aggressive behavior reminiscent of the species' hardiness and status as an invasive species. However, its size and Dark type may also suggest it is based on a larger, more powerful creature, such as the lobster. Crawdaunt's shell may be based on batesian mimicry in association with Sharpedo, as it resembles an open shark mouth with a star on the nose.
