→Trivia: Edited origin (Woobat is most likely not based on a Honduran white bat at all. It doesn’t have white fur, big eyes, or a yellow nose, and the traits it does share with the Honduran white bat are common in many other bats. It’s very much a stretch, so it shouldn’t be listed as this Pokémon’s primary inspiration.)
