Ash Poipole

Ash's Poipole.

Trivia[]

  • Early images of Poipole and its evolution were leaked. An article can be found here.
  • Poipole is the only Ultra Beast that is capable of evolution.
  • It is stated that, in its "own world", Poipole are used as a common First partner Pokémon.
  • Poipole has the lowest BST of all Ultra Beasts.
  • Poipole is one of the ten Pokémon that evolves upon knowing a move. In this case, it needs to know the move Dragon Pulse.

Origin[]

Poipole may be based on a stereotypical alien as they are often shown to be one or two shades of color, have oval-shaped eyes with no pupils and a giant head. Its ability to sting and deliver toxic liquids may be a reference to wasps or syringes. Its head also slightly represents a blooming flower bulb, possibly referencing sci-fi plants that are known to shoot acid from their bulbs.

Etymology[]

Poipole is a combination of the words poison (referring to its type) and tadpole (referring to its youthful state). It may also come from the word purple (referring to its color) spoken in a New York or New Jersey accent.

Bebenomu comes from bébé (French for "baby") and venom.
