I think that the height is supposed to be its height when standing up on its tail; this seems likely to be the case with most snake-based pokemon. [[User:Mangaman13|Mangaman13]] ([[User talk:Mangaman13|talk]]) 14:30, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

I've always assumed that dunsparce's name also came from the word dunce, because it's such a dumb concept for a pokemon.

Given the rings around its eyes that resemble eyespots seen on some caterpillars, I wonder if Dunsparce may have been inspired somewhat by hornworms (sphinx moth caterpillars)? Some alleged sightings of the "Tsuchinoko" have actually been hornworms.

==Dunsparce's name==
I'm more concerned that the person who added the german name seems to think Messel is "chisel" for some reason, when it's clearly a reference to the Messel Pit, one of the only places on Earth you can find Snake fossils.--[[User:Nintenfreak|Nintenfreak]] ([[User talk:Nintenfreak|talk]]) 02:54, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

Rock Smash

It says in HGSS that you need to rock smash boulders in Dark Cave to find dunsprace, i encountered one without rock smash. GoldHusky (talk) 13:06, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

height

I think that the height is supposed to be its height when standing up on its tail; this seems likely to be the case with most snake-based pokemon. Mangaman13 (talk) 14:30, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

dunsparce's eyes

is there any source to the part in the description where it mentions that is eyes are closed? I always just assumed they looked like that when open since they are never seen both opening and closing in any media I am aware of - unsigned comment from Wateryice (talk • contribs)

Dunsparce's Name

I've always assumed that dunsparce's name also came from the word dunce, because it's such a dumb concept for a pokemon. It also makes sense because it's German name comes from the German word for dumb (dumm). Maybe that should be added? Alpha starborne (talk) 01:49, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Hornworm Inspiration?

Given the rings around its eyes that resemble eyespots seen on some caterpillars, I wonder if Dunsparce may have been inspired somewhat by hornworms (sphinx moth caterpillars)? Some alleged sightings of the "Tsuchinoko" have actually been hornworms. [1] Icycatelf (talk) 03:08, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

EDIT: I went ahead and added my hornworm theory to Dunsparce's origin section. Does anyone have any objections? - unsigned comment from Icycatelf (talk • contribs)

Dunsparce's name

I'm more concerned that the person who added the german name seems to think Messel is "chisel" for some reason, when it's clearly a reference to the Messel Pit, one of the only places on Earth you can find Snake fossils.--Nintenfreak (talk) 02:54, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
