Trivia

  • Liepard is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 446.

Origin

Liepard appears to draw inspiration from species of wildcat that appear to have traits of both housecats and leopards, like the leopard cat, ocelot and serval. It may also be based on a Savannah cat, a hybrid between a domestic cat and a serval. It also slightly resembles a black panther, because of its dark coloration and the fact that spots on a panther's coat can be seen if examined closely.

Name origin

Liepard is a combination of lie and leopard.

Lepardas is a combination of leopard and πάρδος pardus (Greek for leopard).
