Trivia
- As the fourth member of the Musketeer quartet, it shares several traits with them, but is somewhat different in a number of ways:
- Unlike the others, Keldeo is unable to learn Quick Attack. Instead, it is capable of learning Aqua Jet, a variation of Quick Attack.
- The moves that Keldeo learns by level have higher base powers than the moves learned by the Musketeer Trio.
- Keldeo learns Sacred Sword one level later than the other three.
- Keldeo is not listed numerically near the other three.
- It distributes EVs for three different stats as opposed to one particular one.
- Its forelegs seem to be stylized after animal legs and hooves, unlike the others, which seem to have boots.
- Keldeo has the highest Special Attack of all Fighting-type Pokémon.
- Keldeo, along with Meloetta, are the only event legendary Pokémon to learn their signature moves from an external source.
- Its trait of running across water mirrors Suicune, another Water-type quadrupedal legendary Pokémon.
Origin
Keldeo is most likely based on a combination of the legend of the kelpie, a supernatural water horse that sometimes appeared as a lost pony, and a unicorn. Keldeo may also be inspired by the character of d'Artagnan from the novel The Three Musketeers. Like d'Artagnan, he is the latest and youngest addition to the group. Keldeo's tail also resembles d'Artagnan's trademark feathered cap.
Name origin
The Kel in its name may be derived from kelpie, a water horse from Celtic folklore.
