* Milotic could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Gyarados}}. Like Gyarados, Milotic evolves from a weak fish Pokémon (incidentally, Feebas and {{p|Magikarp}} have the same move sets) and is modeled after a sea serpent. Although both can be either male or female, Milotic has a feminine and serene appearance while Gyarados has a masculine and aggressive appearance. In addition, their evolutions represent extreme weakness turning into extreme power and extreme ugliness turning into extreme beauty. Their color schemes, both normal and shiny, are also vice versa; Magikarp is red, but Gyarados is blue, while Feebas is blue and Milotic is red. Gyarados's shiny form is red, while Milotic's is blue. Both shiny forms, Gyarados and Milotic's, are based on their previous forms' normal coloring. It is also noteworthy that both have the same stats of 95-60-79-100-125-81, with HP, Defense and Speed being 95, 79 and 81 respectively, and the remaining stats distributed differently for each Pokémon. {{p|Gyarados}} and Milotic are part of the same egg group: Dragon. | * Milotic could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Gyarados}}.

Milotic may be based loosely on {{wp|sirens}}, mythical creatures who can hypnotize with their voice to make men attracted to them. An argument can also be made for the possibility it is loosely based on {{wp|Loch Ness Monster and popular culture|The Loch Ness Monster}}. | Milotic may be based loosely on {{wp|sirens}}, mythical creatures who can hypnotize with their voice to make men attracted to them.
