I'd like to point out {{wp|Spectacled Caiman|this species}} as a partial design influence, particularly the "eyeglasses". Also, the word for spectacles (''megane'') is a more likely name origin than "eye".--[[User:Kaoz|Kaoz]] 01:27, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Ability

Meguroko's ability is actually called Earthquake Spiral. Every time Meguroko defeats a foe it gets more and more powerful. - unsigned comment from gendrgar000 (talkcontribs)

I think Overconfident is just a different translation or Earthquake Spiral. If you get more confident, don't you feel like you could do better? Also, please remember to sign your comments with ~~~~. Turtwig's A-B-Cs (talk | contribs) 15:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

earhquake spiral doesnt even make any sense.... (Ataro 15:30, 27 June 2010 (UTC)) yeah "Earthquake Spiral' sounds like an attack. how can people actually say that it's not overconfidence?Vkickass 00:01, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Physiology for the admins to implement

Meguroko is a primarily tan-colored, quadruped crocodilian Pokémon, having a long snout as typical of crocodilians, and a thick black stripe on the bridge. Meguroko’s eyes are round and sepia-colored, with a circular pattern of black around them stretching between each eye, giving the impression of an archetypical robber’s mask or a pair of glasses, with the ridges surrounding the eyes being large and protruding. Two thick black stripes are present down Meguroko’s back, stretching to its pink-colored underside and encompassing its tan-colored limbs, which sport three claws each that are also black; additionally, its tapered tail is tipped with the color.

Origin

I'd like to point out this species as a partial design influence, particularly the "eyeglasses". Also, the word for spectacles (megane) is a more likely name origin than "eye".--Kaoz 01:27, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Taking into account the glasses design and the word "megane" the name is most likely a pun off of "meganekko" or glasses girls. 目黒子 (meguroko: Black-eyed child) with 目 (me) meaning eyes, 黒 (kuro) meaning black, and 子 (ko) meaning child.--Psychogurl 00:12, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Unique typing?

Maybe it'd be relevant in the trivia to mention that as of now (barring any evolution with a similar typing, of course), Meguroko would be the only dark/ground poke'mon?--The Great Ratsby 02:42, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

The only known Dark/Ground Pokémon. But keep in mind that Black and White might introduce other Dark/Ground Pokémon. I think we should probably leave it out since if it turns out there are more we'd have wasted time. Absolution 09:27, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to note that Meguroko was the first Pokémon with a unique typing revealed in G5. If it is unique, that is. --Element03 00:55, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

That's incorrect, though. Reshiram and Zekrom have unique type combinations too, and I believe they were revealed earlier. --ZestyCactus 01:24, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
Oh right, I forgot about them. My mistake. --Element03 05:58, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
