Talk:Hippowdon (Pokémon)

The "don" in hippowdon's name could also be the common dinosaur suffix "odon" which is "teeth" in greek, due to how hippowdon's large teeth are emphasized and actual hippopotamus' exclusive use of biting as an attack. Teeth make more sense in this circumstance than the spanish word for lord. -I'll change it in a week or so if no one replies...

Strange thing I noticed

Did anyone see that shiny male hippowdon is the same color as real hippos? LordKaien 21:51, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

on the sprites section where it shows all hippowdons sprites i noticed theres no images for scarlet & violet even tho hippowdons obtainable in those games... does this need a update Robloxninjawarrior (talk) 15:55, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

We don't currently have images of any Scarlet/Violet models. I believe the user who recently updated all the Sword/Shield model images expressed interest in uploading the Scarlet/Violet model images as well, but as I understand it, the process of obtaining images of models is much more labor-intensive than just mining sprite images from the game data, so doing that for all Pokémon in the game takes a lot of time and effort. So it may take a while ^^; Storm Aurora (talk) 19:11, 15 September 2025 (UTC)
