Xurkitree appears to be based on sparking electrical wires and power-lines. The three prongs on the end of its tail resemble a power plug, while its long 'fingers' may be based on copper wiring. Its design also shares some small aspects of a tree, especially {{wp|Christmas tree}}s; its head resembles a {{wp|Moravian star}} or a {{wp|tree-topper}}, while the white bands on its limbs may be based on {{wp|Christmas lights|fairy lights}}, though they could also refer to {{wp|cable tie}}s, which are used to hold multiple cables together. | Xurkitree appears to be based on sparking electrical wires and power-lines.

The design of Xurkitree may also be based on a visual pun of the term ''live wire'', which refers to both: "a wire carrying an {{wp|Live wire (electricity)|electric current}}" and "an energetic or enterprising person". | |||
