Trivia

• A guest comic to the webcomic VGCats parodied Bidoof by giving it the nickname the "Vendor Trash" Pokémon.
• In each region, there is a two-stage Template:Type2 Pokémon encountered early in the region. Bidoof is the Sinnoh variation on this theme, while Rattata, Sentret, and Zigzagoon are those of other regions. Out of all of them however, Bidoof is the only one whose evolution is not pure Normal-type.
• Bidoof's Platinum Pokédex entry references Rattata despite not being in the same regional Pokédex as it.

Origin

Bidoof appears to be based on a beaver, or a gopher. It is particularly similar to the mountain beaver, a primitive relative of beavers lacking tails.

Name origin

Its name is derived from beaver and doofus or tooth. Bidoof's Japanese name Bippa is derived from the English word beaver and 出っ歯 deppa, protruding tooth.

In other languages

• German: Bidiza - From Biber (beaver).
• French: Keunottor - From quenotte (milk tooth) and castor (beaver).
• Korean: 비버니 Beaverni
• Chinese: 乳齒瀨
