Frogadier is based on a frog, and may have been inspired by horned frogs from the {{wp|Genus|genera}} ''{{wp|Megophrys}}'' and ''{{wp|Ceratophrys}}'' due to the spiked protrusions above its eyes. Its bubbling white foam is a reference to frog foam nests, created by some species such as the {{wp|Tungara frog|túngara frog}} and {{wp|grey foam-nest tree frog}} to protect eggs. Considering its crouched pose, its dark blue "hooded" face and upper body, as well as its scarf-like foam, Frogadier is more than likely based on a {{wp|ninja}}. It also has a possibiity of being based off the {{wp|Jesus Christ Lizard}}, a lizard capable of walking on water, which, as shown in the [[XY017]], Frogadier is capable of.

Trivia

Origin

Frogadier is based on a frog, and considering its crouched pose, dark blue "hooded" face and upper body, as well as its scarf-like foam, Frogadier is more than likely based on a ninja. The spiked protrusions above its eyes may have been inspired by horned frogs from the genera Megophrys and Ceratophrys. Its bubbling white foam is a reference to frog foam nests, created by some species such as the túngara frog and grey foam-nest tree frog to protect eggs. It was shown in the anime to be able to run on the surface of water, much like the common basilisk.

Name origin

Frogadier may be a combination frog and brigadier or grenadier.

Gekogahshier may be a combination of げこっ geko (croak) and 若頭 wakagashira (a young Yakuza subordinate leader) or 小頭 kogashira (head of an organizational section).
