Trivia

• No Pokémon have the same type combination as Jellicent and its pre-evolution.
• Jellicent and its pre-evolution, along with Unfezant are the only Generation V Pokémon that have gender differences.
  • They are also the only Pokémon, besides Nidoran, whose gender differences are visible in their minisprites.
• Even though Jellicent and its pre-evolution's species are the Floating Pokémon, they don't have the ability Levitate. This is even more notable due to the fact that Levitate's Japanese name is Floating.

Origin

Jellicent and its pre-evolution were most likely inspired by the Nurarihyon, a jellyfish youkai that is either shown as a demonized jellyfish or as a jellyfish-like man who wears refined, sometimes regal, clothing. It is also possible that they was inspired by the Kurage no Hinotama, a sort of jellyfish-like will-o'-the-wisp. Its design is inspired by the jellyfish, in particular the Crown Jellyfish, and monarch attire; the male form's appearance based on a king's while the female's is based on a queen's.

Name origin

Its name is likely a combination of ブルー burū, blue, and エンジェル enjeru, angel; reference to Sea angels.
