Its English name is likely a combination of "emperor" and "Napoleon", though it may also take from "south pole". Its Japanese name is likely derived from "emperor" and "Bonaparte", Napoleon's surname. The Pokédex states that groups of Empoleon are led by the one with the biggest horns, as the horns "attest to its power".[9] It also says that Empoleon can "swim as fast as a jet boat", and that "edges of its wings are sharp and can slice apart drifting ice".[10] The Pokédex also describes Empoleon's tendency to defend their pride, and that they "would slash [anyone who hurts its pride] with wings that can cleave through an ice floe",[11] as well as "decimating anything that threatens its pride", despite "[avoiding] unnecessary disputes".[12] Empoleon is notable for its appearances as a playable character in the arcade and Nintendo Switch versions of Pokkén Tournament.[13][14]

It's also possible that part of the name is derived from "shadoof", which is a device used to irrigate water. Its Japanese name may be taken from "beaver", and "deppa" (出っ歯), meaning "protruding tooth". The Pokédex describes Bidoof as being "more agile and active than it appears", as well as having "nerves of steel". Additionally, Bidoof's Pokédex entry in Pokémon Legends: Arceus states that Bidoof have "an unsophisticated face" and are "rarely flustered by anything".[17] The Pokédex also states that Bidoof gnaw on logs and rocks and nest alongside water.[18] Bidoof is widely known in the Pokémon community as an "HM Slave", a fan term used for Pokémon whose primary use comes from learning Hidden Machines.[19] This has spawned many internet memes about Bidoof, such as it being a deity, or the star of its own game.[20] The Pokémon Company has leaned into these memes on several occasions, such as declaring 22 October 2018 to be "Bidoof Day" in Pokémon Go,[21] as well as making 1 July 2021 an additional Bidoof Day, featuring appearances all over different Pokémon media, and a limited edition Pokémon trading card.[22][23] The second Bidoof Day culminated in a Bidoof parody of Never Gonna Give You Up.[24] On 11 January 2022, The Pokémon Company released Bidoof's Big Stand, a 2D short animation starring Bidoof.[25] Despite the popularity of Bidoof in memes, Bidoof's popularity outside of them remains mixed. Jerrad Wyche of The Gamer called Bidoof "the clear cut worst Normal-type of the Sinnoh region",[26] while Keane Ng of The Escapist said Bidoof was "everyone's favorite bucktoothed, ubiquitous, and completely useless and trash-tier Pokémon".[27] However, leaning into these memes, Game Informer's Alex Stadnick described its appearance in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl as a "cultural revolution",[28] showcasing this disparity.

It may also be derived from "alpha", "deus", a Latin word meaning "god", or "archeus", a part of the astral plane in alchemy.[77] When exposed to a plate of a specific type, Arceus changes its type and color to match that plate.[78] With the Legend Plate, however, Arceus' type changes dynamically to whichever would be the most effective on the opponent.[79][80] Arceus debuted in the movie Arceus and the Jewel of Life, where it serves as one of the film's main characters.[81] In the Pokémon universe, Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is told in mythology that it emerged from an egg before the universe even existed, and that it "shaped all there is in this world".[82][83] It is also said to have created several Legendary Pokémon with its "1,000 arms".[84][85] It appears in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, where it takes a central role.[86] Arceus also stars in Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles, a miniseries that takes some inspiration from Legends: Arceus.[87] It along with Smeargle are the only two Pokémon that can learn its signature move Judgement.[88]
