Trivia
- According to Game Freak, Baruchai was not designed nor created by Ken Sugimori. It was created by James Turner, making it the first Pokémon to be designed by an American.[1] Its evolution however, is designed by Sugimori himself.
- Baruchai can be seen as a counterpart to Washibon: Both are dual-typed Flying Pokémon that are described as eagles, are members of a two-stage evolutionary family who evolve into their final form at level 54. They are both also members of a single-gender species (Baruchai is exclusively female, whereas Washibon is exclusively male).
- Their movesets are also substantially similar, sharing the same number of start moves and level-up moves, with all of their level-up moves occurring at the same levels. Many of their moves are either the same or share the same theme: Both start with a basic Flying-type attack and Leer; at level 5 they both learn Fury Attack; at level 14 both learn a status move that provides a total of two levels of stat increase (Nasty Plot for Baruchai, and Claw Sharpen for Washibon); at level 23 they both learn a STAB variation of Swift (Baruchai learns Faint Attack, whereas Warshibon learns Aerial Ace); at level 32 they learn Defog; at level 37 they both learn Tailwind; at level 41 they share Air Slash; at level 55 both learn Whirlwind, and at level 59 they learn Brave Bird.
Origin
Baruchai is based on a vulture chick.
Name origin
Its likely a combination of バルチャー baruchā, vulture, and チャイルド chairudo, child.
