Special abilities

Since Zigzagoon have a keen sense of smell, and supported by the fact that they are curious about anything on the ground, they are able to locate and Pickup items while its trainer walks around.

When the Generation IV games were introduced, Zigzagoon was given another ability. Due to the fact that it loves berries more than almost anything else, it is a complete Template:A2 when it comes to them.

Trivia

Origin

Considering its wirelike hair and coloring, it is probably based on a raccoon dog, a species of Asian canine that looks somewhat similar to raccoons, or the aforementioned Euroasian badger.

Name origin

Zigzagoon's name appears to be a combination of zigzag, referring to its fur pattern, and raccoon. Its Japanese name is a combination of zigzag and 洗い熊 araiguma, Euroasian badger.

In other languages

  • German: Zigzachs
  • French: Zigzaton
  • Korean: 지그재구리 Zigzaguri - A combination of the word "zigzag" and neoguri which means "raccoon".
