Trivia
- Rufflet shares similarities to Growlithe. They both stand up to strong opponents without fear and they also have 350 stat total.
- It is impossible to get a seen Pokédex entry for Rufflet in Pokémon Black and Pokémon Black 2 without trading with another player.
Origin
Rufflet is based on a bald eagle chick. His color palette also consists of red, white, and blue referencing the American Flag and concept of Unova (Unova is based on New York and is the first Pokémon region based on a US state). As opposed to Vullaby's influence being on pre-historic America, Rufflet seems to be based off the influence of modern America. The feather on his head resembles Native American headdress.
Etymology
Rufflet's name seems to be a combination of the words "ruffle" or "ruffled" (referring to his feathers) and "eaglet".
His Japanese name 'Washibon' is possibly derived from 'Washi' meaning eagle in Japanese, or the Filipino word 'Haribon' known as Philippine Eagle meaning King of Birds. In addition it sounds phonetically similar to 'Washington'.
