Trivia[]

Origin[]

Fomantis is based on the concept of an orchid mantis, but reversed. Orchid mantises use their color and claws to look like flowers, however, Fomantis is based on a flower bulb imitating a mantis, explaining why it is a Grass-type Pokémon instead of a Bug-type Pokémon.

Etymology[]

Fomantis comes from faux (French for "fake") and mantis.

Its Japanese name, Karikiri, comes from 仮 (kari, pseudo-), 蟷螂 (kamakiri, mantis), and 切る (kiru, to cut).
