Watchog's name suggests that it is based on a {{wp|groundhog}}, although, like its pre-evolution, it also resembles a {{wp|chipmunk}}, {{wp|meerkat}} or {{wp|prairie dog}}. Its design is possibly based on a road worker, with the body resembling a {{wp|personal protective equipment|protective suit}} and the yellow stripes forming a {{wp|High-visibility clothing|safety vest}}.
