Anime

Ash's Sewaddle.

Trivia

  • Sewaddle's image was leaked Yahoo's official Pokémon site on August 5, 2010. It was officially revealed on September issue of Coro Coro on August 8, 2010.
  • It is the fourth Bug/Grass-type Pokémon, the prior three being Paras, Parasect, and Wormadam.
  • Sewaddle's Pokédex entries are conflicting ones. One states that Leavanny makes its clothes while the other states it makes clothes for itself. Of course, Sewaddle could make some of its clothes by itself and have others made for it by Leavanny.
  • Sewaddle's evolutionary line is somewhat odd, considering that Sewaddle and Swadloon are based on a caterpillar and cocoon respectively and Leavanny is based on a praying mantis; however, real praying mantises go through incomplete metamorphosis, meaning that young mantises look like smaller versions of adults and don't go through a cocoon stage.

Origin

Sewaddle appears to have similarities of a caterpillar and a silk worm. It may specifically be based on a leaf rolling caterpillar, which rolls up leaves that it and other bugs hide in. It may also be based on the silver-spotted skipper, which uses leaves and silk to shelter itself. The leaf on the top of its head also resembles a baby bonnet.

Etymology

Sewaddle comes from sew (referring to how it is based on a silk worm) and swaddle.
