Fidough is a small canine Pokémon. It has small, black beady eyes and stubby legs. Its ears are rounded and resemble pastries or bread buns. It has smooth, moist skin that is off-white in coloration, with yellow accents on the top of its head, its eyebrows, the insides of its ears, around its neck, and on its tail. Fidough's skin has elastic qualities; when startled, they will puff themselves up to appear larger, in an attempt to intimidate their opponents.[1]
Fidough's breath contains yeast and is used to ferment things. Fidough has long been considered a companion for humanity, because its yeast is useful for cooking.[1]
Origin
Fidough resembles a puppy made from dessert dough. The dessert may be based on Ensaïmada, a type of Spanish pastry shaped like a spiral. The two concepts together may be a pun on the phrase "purebred" — a term used to recognise dogs of consistent genetic lineage — as it is pronounced like "pure bread".
Name origin
Fidough may be a combination of Fido (a stereotypical name for a pet dog), filo, and dough.
Papimocchi may be a combination of puppy and 餅 mochi, a popular Japanese rice cake snack.
