Trivia

  • Fennekin and its evolutions share the same species name with Vulpix, Ninetales, Nickit and Thievul, who are all classified as the Fox Pokémon.
  • Fennekin is tied with Torchic for the shortest fire-type First partner Pokémon.
  • Fennekin is currently the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 307. This makes it the only unevolved First partner Pokémon with a unique base stat total.
  • In Super Smash Bros., Fennekin is one of the Pokémon that can be freed from Poké Balls. During this time, it uses the move Incinerate.

Origin

Fennekin appears to be based on a fennec fox and a kitsune, foxes in Japanese mythology associated with fire.

Its encounter at the Savanna Biome can act as a reference to real life Fennec Foxes residing in Africa.

Etymology

Fennekin comes from fennec fox and kindle.
