Trivia[]

• Froakie is tied with Rowlet as the shortest unevolved First partner Pokémon at exactly 1 foot tall (or 0.3 meters).
• Froakie is the second starter to be based on a frog, with Bulbasaur being the first.

Origin[]

Froakie is based on a frog, more precisely, a tree frog. Its bubbly and foamy scarf it has is based on "frog foam nests" that are often created as a nest to protect their eggs. Its foam also slightly resembles a backpack or a hood, a reference to dorobō (robbers in Japanese culture), where they often use bags of stolen goods as a hoodie to conceal their identity.

Etymology[]

Froakie comes from frog, froth, croaky, and possibly coquí, a type of frog.
