:::According to the wikipedia article, groundhogs are relativity the same size and weight of swinub.

Icy Wind
Serebbi said it can't be totored it in Platinum, but that doesn't make sense. Can anybody check this out?- unsigned comment from Gorebyss (talk • contribs)
F.E.A.R.
Couldn't Swinub be used as F.E.A.R in Platinum.Laxafett 10 January 2009, 18:58 (UTC)
- Yes, indeedy do. And it's not the only one to be made F.E.A.R. capable due to Platinum move tutors, either. It's all on this page. Missingno. Master wants YOU! Join the Order of the Glitch! (my talk page) 19:51, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
Ground Hog
Its been a long time since I made that connection, but couldn't the basis for this Pokémon be based on a Ground Hog? I was young when I first saw the possibility of this wordplay, but with age the mind is the first to go.Yami 19:46, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, a Swinub looks nothing like a groundhog, if you take a look at pictures of a groundhog. But then, that's just my opinion. ~ solaris 19:48, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
- They do seem to look like groundhogs in shape, an by wikipedia their size and weights are similar as well.
well most of Origins on Bulbapedia are unsourced and speculative so i went and added the info Yami 19:59, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
- That's not an excuse. It's not even a freaking rodent. Plus, let's not forget that Pokémon is Japanese and so they'd not really use an English naming pun. Most we can take out of it is Urimoo, which combines wild boar piglet with the sound it makes. TTEchidna 20:18, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
- According to the wikipedia article, groundhogs are relativity the same size and weight of swinub. Swinub are adapt to digging just like groundhogs. swinub is a pig pokemon and a ground type and hog is is another word for pig.
