Given Alola is obvious Hawaii, this is likely Iwanko's design basis - notice the ruff around its neck looks like a necklace of teeth.

:That's a very possible source of inspiration, but I think we still need more information before we put that in the page.

:While Rockruff does seem to borrow inspiration from the Hawaiian Poi regarding its collar, it is ''not'' primarily based off of it. Rather, it is based off of the Kurī, a dog that is sometimes confused for the Poi dog. Rockruff has perky, folded ears and a fluffy tail like the Kurī, whereas the Poi (going off of the one photograph I could find of it) has a slender tail (and shorter hair in general), and somewhat flopped but perky ears. | |||
