==Trivia==
* Unlike most evolved Pokémon, except in the case of [[baby Pokémon]], it is far more common in the wild than its pre-evolution. This is due to Kricketune being available at all times of day, while Kricketot is only found at night (as well as morning in {{v2|Platinum}}), as well as the low level required for its evolution.
*Kricketune is the only pure {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon that is the final stage in an evolutionary line. The only other pure Bug-types that cannot evolve into anything else, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Volbeat}}, and {{p|Illumise}}, don't evolve ''from'' anything else.
*Despite having wings, it cannot learn any flying type moves by leveling up nor TM/HM.

===Origin===
Kricketune appears to be based on a {{wp|violin beetle}}.
====Name origin====
Its name comes from ''cricket'' and ''tune''. Its Japanese name may come from 蟋蟀 ''koorogi'', cricket, and a corruption of 曲 ''kyoku'', tune.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Zirpeise - A combination of ''zirpen'' (to chirp) and ''Weise'' (tune).

==Trivia==
* Unlike most evolved Pokémon, except in the case of [[baby Pokémon]], it is far more common in the wild than its pre-evolution. This is due to Kricketune being available at all times of day, while Kricketot is only found at night (as well as morning in {{v2|Platinum}}), as well as the low level required for its evolution.
*Kricketune is the only pure {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon that is the final stage in an evolutionary line. The only other pure Bug-types that cannot evolve into anything else, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Volbeat}}, and {{p|Illumise}}, don't evolve ''from'' anything else.
*Despite having wings, it cannot learn any {{p|flying type}} moves by leveling up nor TM/HM.

===Origin===
Kricketune appears to be based on a {{wp|violin beetle}}.
====Name origin====
Its name comes from ''cricket'' and ''tune''. Its Japanese name may come from 蟋蟀 ''koorogi'', cricket, and a corruption of 曲 ''kyoku'', tune.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Zirpeise - A combination of ''zirpen'' (to chirp) and ''Weise'' (tune).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Melokrik
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 귀뚤톡크 ''Gwittultokkeu''
