Trivia

  • Grovyle's evolutionary line is one of two Grass-type lines that are not in the Plant egg group. The other is the Lileep line.
  • While Grovyle's leafs are green in its official art, they are more of a blue colour in the games.

Origin

Appearance-wise, it resembles the dinosaur known as the Dromaeosaurus. It is believed that the dinosaur had feathers much like how Grovyle has leaves on its body.

Name origin

Grovyle's name is a combination of the words grove, meaning a group of trees, and possibly vile. Of course, -yle could also refer to "reptile". Its Japanese name is based on jungle or 樹 ju, tree, and reptile or raptor.

In other languages

  • German: Reptain - From Reptilien (reptile).
  • French: Massko
  • Korean: 나무돌이 Namudori - Combination of 나무 namu (tree) and 돌이 dori, a suffix commonly used on animal's names.
