Sirfetch'd appears to be based on a {{wp|Pekin duck}} and a {{wp|knight}}, with its leek halves resembling medieval weapons: a {{wp|sword}} or {{wp|lance}} and a {{wp|shield}}. Like Farfetch'd, it may be inspired by the Japanese saying 「{{tt|鴨が葱を背負って来る|Kamo ga negi o shotte kuru}}」, literally translating to "a duck comes bearing {{wp|Welsh onion| | Sirfetch'd appears to be based on a {{wp|Pekin duck}} and a {{wp|knight}}, with its leek halves resembling medieval weapons: a {{wp|sword}} or {{wp|lance}} and a {{wp|shield}}. Like Farfetch'd, it may be inspired by the Japanese saying 「{{tt|鴨が葱を背負って来る|Kamo ga negi o shotte kuru}}」, literally translating to "a duck comes bearing {{wp|Welsh onion|spring onions}}". As a saying, it means "easy target" or "golden opportunity". Sirfetch'd carrying a leek may also be inspired by the fact that the leek is one of the {{wp|National symbols of Wales|national symbols}} of {{wp|Wales}}, part of the {{wp|United Kingdom}}, which serves as the inspiration for the [[Galar]] region. | ||
Sirfetch'd appearance is also likely based on {{wp|Lancelot|Sir Lancelot du Lac}}, one of the members of the {{wp|Knights of the Round Table}}. In Arthurian legend, before he revealed his identity to {{wp|King Arthur}}, he was known as the "White Knight" for his white armor. In addition, it may also come from the Lancelot leek, which is a wild onion variant that is named after him. Sirfetch'd overall personality may be based on the code of {{wp|chivalry}}. | Sirfetch'd appearance is also likely based on {{wp|Lancelot|Sir Lancelot du Lac}}, one of the members of the {{wp|Knights of the Round Table}}.
