Sirfetch'd may be based on a {{wp|Pekin duck}} and a {{wp|knight}}, with its leek halves resembling medieval weapons: a {{wp|sword}} or {{wp|lance}} and a {{wp|shield}}. Like Farfetch'd, it may be inspired by the Japanese saying 「{{tt|鴨が葱を背負って来る|Kamo ga negi o shotte kuru}}」, literally translating to "a duck comes bearing {{wp|Welsh onion|spring onions}}". As a saying, it means "easy target" or "golden opportunity". Sirfetch'd carrying a leek may also be inspired by the fact that the leek is one of the {{wp|National symbols of Wales|national symbols}} of {{wp|Wales}}, part of the {{wp|United Kingdom}}, which serves as the inspiration for the [[Galar]] region. | Sirfetch'd may be based on a {{wp|Pekin duck}} and a {{wp|knight}}, with its leek halves resembling medieval weapons: a {{wp|sword}} or {{wp|lance}} and a {{wp|shield}}.
