Trivia
- In Black and White, Watchog was the only Pokémon to have the same EV yield as its pre-evolution, and the only evolved Pokémon to only give a single EV, giving one EV in Attack.
- Because its EV yield was 2 Attack in Black 2 and White 2, Watchog is the only Pokémon to have its EV yield changed within a generation.
- Watchog is the only evolved Pokémon with a catch rate of 255.
Origin
Watchog is based on a groundhog and possibly a meerkat or prairie dog. Its design is also based on a road worker, with the body resembling a protective suit and the yellow stripes forming a safety vest.
Name origin
Watchog is a combination of watch and groundhog. It may also be a play on watchdog, a dog used to guard.
Miruhog may be a combination of 見る miru (to observe) or meerkat and groundhog.
