Trivia

 * Its Japanese name, Miruhog, may be a combination of meerkat (since it is shown to stand like one) and groundhog (from its appearance). Its English name, Watchog, may be a combination of Watch and groundhog.
 * Watchog was revealed on an Oha Suta trailer on July 29, 2010. It was officially revealed on the September issue of Coro Coro on August 8, 2010.
 * So far every Generation has had a rodent as one of the early Pokémon seen. These include Rattata & Raticate (Generation I), Sentret & Furret (Generation II), Zigzagoon & Linoone (Generation III), Bidoof & Bibarel (Generation IV), and Patrat & Watchog (Generation V).
 * Watchog has fluff on the end of its tail, which it uses to alert others. This system is very similar to that of a white-tailed deer, whom they flash their tails to alert the rest of the heard to approaching danger.
