Trivia

• Impidimp was first showcased during an E3 2019 demo before its official reveal.
• No Pokémon have the same type combination as the Impidimp evolutionary family.
• Impidimp shares its category with Nuzleaf. They are both known as the Wily Pokémon.
• Impidimp and Hatenna's evolution lines can be considered counterparts. Both are Generation VIII Pokémon evolving once at level 32 then at level 42. The Impidimp evolution line is male only, while the Hatenna line is female only. Their final evolutions are both Fairy-type Pokémon with identical base experience and catch rates, and each Pokémon in each evolution line have the same base stat total as their counterpart (e.g. Impidimp and Hatenna both have a base stat total of 265).
• Impidimp and its evolutionary line are the only Pokémon that are in the Fairy and Human-Like egg groups.

Origin

Impidimp seems to be based on a variety of malevolent fairy-like creatures from European folklore, specifically imps, goblins, and gremlins. Its habit of sneaking into homes and causing mischief brings to mind boggarts. It could also be an allusion to the Lincoln Imp, a grotesque statue in the city of Lincoln, England's landmark Gothic cathedral.

Name origin

Impidimp may be a combination of imp, impede, impediment, and impudent (rude and disrespectful).

Berobā may be a combination of ベロ bero (tongue) and ベロベロバァ beroberobā (peekaboo).
