Pineco (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Pineco is based on a {{wp|bagworm moth|bagworm}}, whose cases—or "bags"—may superficially resemble {{wp|conifer cone|pine cone}}s. Its primary means of locomotion is hopping, which is similar to the {{wp|Mexican jumping bean}}, a nut pod which appears to jump because it contains a writhing bug larva. Its appearance and ability to explode also give it the resemblance of a {{wp|grenade}}. In addition to its possible relation to weaponry, its ability to learn {{m|Spikes}} may be a reference to {{wp|caltrop}}s—especially as this is the move's Japanese name.
