Trivia
- His line are the only Dark and Fairy-type Pokémon to be exclusively male.
- His line are the first male-only Pokémon introduced since Generation V.
- The devil icons seen in Generation II, Generation III, and Stadium 2 bears some resemblance to Impidimp.
- Impidimp and Nuzleaf share the same species; The Wily Pokémon.
Origin
Impidimp is based on an imp, possibly the Lincoln Imp in particular. It may also take inspiration from other types of fairy-like creatures in folklore such as goblins or gremlins. Its small wings on the back of its head suggest it may be based on a devil.
Etymology
Impidimp is derived from imp, impediment, and impudent. It may also come from dimpsey, a term used to refer to the time of day near dusk, hence its Dark-typing.
Berobā may be a combination of ベロ bero (tongue) and ベロベロバァ beroberoba (peekaboo).
