Trivia
- Milotic's trainer in Pokémon Colosseum was "Venus", possibly reassuring Milotic's name basis as the sculpture "Venus de Milo".
- Milotic could be seen as a counterpart to Gyarados. Like Gyarados, Milotic evolves from a weak fish Pokémon (incidentally, Feebas and Magikarp have the same move sets) and is modeled after a sea serpent. Although both can be either male or female, Milotic has a feminine and serene appearance while Gyarados has a masculine and aggressive appearance. They also have the same base stats, though the Attack, Special Attack, and Special Defense are rearranged.
- In the anime, with the exception of Pike Queen Lucy, all of the Milotic that appeared were under the ownership of a Pokémon coordinator or at least a part-time coordinator.
- Milotic shares many similarities with Dratini and Dragonair, such as their habitat and beauty. That may suggest Milotic has common roots with Dragonair, maybe even with Dragons as a whole.
Origin
Milotic may be based loosely on sirens, mythical creatures who can hypnotize with their voice to make men attracted to them. An argument can also be made for the possibility it is loosely based on The Loch Ness Monster. Its similarity to Dragonair suggests as basis in sea serpents or sea dragons as well.
Name origin
Milotic's name may be a combination of melodic and Milo, as in the sculpture Venus de Milo, which is known for being an example of beauty, and like Milotic, possesses no arms. Its Japanese name may be a combination of the aforementioned Milo and the Greek καλλονή kalloni, meaning beauty or Χάρις charis, beauty, elegance, charm, or grace. See also Charites.
Milotic also have a wide range of healing and defensive moves, so its name may also be a variation on mitotic, descriptive of the healing process of a body part through mitosis.
