 *Tsutarja is the first Grass-type starter that is not listed as the first Pokémon in its regional Pokédex, although it is still #001. It is also the only Grass-type starter so far that is not the first Pokémon of its generation in National order.
 ===Origin===
-Tsutarja is most likely based on ''{{wp|Oxybelis fulgidus}}'', a slender snake with a pointed head that inhabits Central America and South America. The Pokémon's combination of snake- and lizard-like features is also similar to that of the skink, more specifically the Neoseps. Neoseps heavilly resemble snakes but have small, stubby legs. Its head and general body shape, as well as its protrusions on its shoulders, are most likely based on the birds of paradise flowers and possibly the false birds of paradise.
