Heliolisk is likely based on a {{wp|Chlamydosaurus|frilled-neck lizard}}, because of its notable ability to expand its frill. With its frill fully expanded, Heliolisk also resembles the {{wp|sun}} itself when viewed from the front; its black coloration may possibly be a reference to {{wp|solar eclipse}}s. It may also be based on the {{wp|spotted salamander}}, a salamander that has the ability to {{wp|photosynthesize}}. Its ability to learn Surf may be a reference to the {{wp|common basilisk}}, a reptile capable of running on water for short distances. Heliolisk's ability to convert solar energy into electricity along with its title as the Generator Pokémon suggest that it may have been inspired by the {{wp|solar power generation system}}. Its French name suggests it may be based on the {{wp|iguana}}. Additionally, it shares few resemblances to the {{wp|leopard gecko}} and the {{wp|Dilophosaurus|Dilophosaurus}} a genus of theropod with two crests on its head, that is commonly yet inaccurately depicted with frill on its neck. | Heliolisk is likely based on a {{wp|Chlamydosaurus|frilled-neck lizard}}, because of its notable ability to expand its frill.
