Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Litwick and its evolutionary relatives.
- Litwick, along with with Slugma and Torkoal, has the lowest Speed of all Fire-type Pokémon.
Origin
Litwick is a combination of Hitodama (a blue, black, or purple-fire associated with ghosts and youkai, equivalent to the western Will-o'-the-wisp) and a candle.
Name origin
Litwick seems to be a combination of lit and wick, as in the wick of a candle that has been lit up, and possibly "little."
Hitomoshi seems to come from 火点し hitomoshi, which means to light a lamp, or the person who leads a funeral procession in Japan with a torch, matching its Pokédex entry saying it leads people astray and then sucks out their life force.
