Trivia

• No other Pokémon have the same type combination as Pururiru and its evolution.

Origin

Pururiru and its evolution were most likely inspired by the Nurarihyon, a jellyfish youkai that is either shown as a demonized jellyfish or as a jellyfish-like man who wears refined, sometimes regal, clothing. Its design is inspired by the jellyfish and monarch attire; the male form's appearance is based on a king's while the female's look is based on a queen's.
