Trivia

  • Bonsly's US name was revealed on June 16, 2005.
  • Bonsly is the only Pokémon yet that is usable in-game by a player during the generation before its release, as it was on the Battle Bingo Bonsly card.
  • The pronunciation of Bonsly was first revealed to be bonz-lee, however this was found untrue. Bonsly's real pronunciation is bon-slie.

Origin

It may be based on petrified wood, plants which have become fossilized over time, placed into a flowerpot. Similarly, it may simply be modeled on the bonsai tree itself.

Name origin

Bonsly's name is a combination of bonsai, miniature trees, and sly or lie.

Its Japanese name could be a misspelling of 嘘っぱち usoppachi, downright lie. It could also be a combination of 嘘 uso, false, and 鉢 hachi, flowerpot, which might be more likely since it can use Fake Tears.

In other languages

  • German: Mobai
  • French: Manzai - Derived from "mini" and "bonzaï".
  • Korean: 꼬지지 Kkojiji
