Baxcalibur may also be based on other sail-backed prehistoric animals, most notably ''{{wp|Spinosaurus}}'', ''{{wp|Ouranosaurus}}'', ''{{wp|Arizonasaurus}}'', and ''{{wp|Dimetrodon}}''. The diamond shape of its sail may allude to the plates on the back of {{wp|stegosaurid}}s. Its overall design may also reference old depictions of non-avian {{wp|theropod}} dinosaurs in {{wp|paleoart}}. Based on Baxcalibur's name and the way it utilizes its sail through the move {{m|Glaive Rush}}, it can be concluded that this sail is inspired by some kind of sword or axe.

Baxcalibur evolving at level 54 could be a reference to 1954, the year {{wp|Godzilla (1954 film)|the first ''Godzilla'' movie}} was released. One of Godzilla's lesser-known abilities is to use his own breath to propel himself and fly. Baxcalibur's Violet Pokédex entry describes a similar behavior.
