 * 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.
 * Watchog's yellow stripes, which are said to "light up to threaten opponents", resemble reflective highway safety vests.
 * So far every Generation (excluding Generation III) has had a rodent as one of the early Pokemon seen. These include Rattata & Raticate (Generation I and II), Bidoof & Bibarel (Generation IV), and Patrat & Watchog (Generation V).
