 ===Origin===
-Whiscash is based on {{wp|Namazu (Japanese mythology)|Namazu}}, a {{wp|catfish}} in {{wp|Japanese mythology}} that causes earthquakes (also note Whiscash's Japanese name "Namazun"). Its move {{m|Future Sight}} and ability {{a|Anticipation}} also alludes to this myth, which possibly originated from the observation that catfish are capable of predicting earthquakes and become agitated a few hours before their occurrence. Sometimes Namazu is depicted as dragon-serpent which may explain why it can learn the move {{m|Dragon Dance}}. The yellow zigzag on Whiscash's head is similar to a {{wp|crown}}. Originally, Namazu served as the inspiration for {{p|Gyarados}} due to it's Beta Sprite but was later rehashed for Whiscash's design. Making both Whiscash and {{p|Milotic}} Pokémon based on Gyarados' design in some respects.

 Since its pre-evolved form appears to be based on a {{wp|loach}}, it may also draw inspiration from {{wp|loach catfish}}. Whiscash could also be based on {{wp|Electric catfish}} due to being able to learn the move {{m|Spark}}.
