:My guess (as mentioned earlier on the page) is "Vic Viper", a spaceship from the classic arcade game Gradius that this Pokémon highly resembles. But absent any sort of official confirmation it's hard to tell for sure. --[[User:AndyPKMN|Andy<sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub><sup>M</sup><sub>N</sub>]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 20:42, 1 July 2016 (UTC) | :My guess (as mentioned earlier on the page) is "Vic Viper", a spaceship from the classic arcade game Gradius that this Pokémon highly resembles.

I know that it's supposed to be based off of a stag beetle, but its jaws could be based off of crocodile clips, which help provide a temporary electric connection.
