Trivia

• Arctovish shares its category with Aerodactyl, Dracozolt, Arctozolt and Dracovish. They are all known as the Fossil Pokémon.

Origin

Arctovish and its counterparts' design may be based on the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs, a series of misassembled dinosaur sculptures displayed at Bromley's Crystal Palace Park in London. In the case of Arctovish, its top half appears to be based on the Dunkleosteus while its bottom half appears to be based mainly on the Mosasaurus.

Name origin

Arctovish may be a combination of arctic and fish.

Uochirudon may be a combination of 魚 uo (fish), chill, and -don (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).
