Trivia

Vespiquen is the only non-legendary to learn exclusive moves, not counting evolution lines with exclusive moves.

Origin

Vespiquen is based on queen bees.

Name origin

Its name is derived from the words "vespa", both a genus name and Latin for wasp, and "queen". "Beequeen" is derived from the word 'bee' and 'queen', meaning that only female bees can become the leader of a colony of bees.
