Trivia

• Haxorus has the highest Attack base stat of all non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon.
• Haxorus is the first fully evolved pure Dragon type in the National Pokédex

Origin

Its tusks are similar in appearance to Scutosaurid's or possibly Ceratopsid's cheekbone tusks and are also similar to battle axe blades. Ken Sugimori confirmed that it was based on a plant-eating dinosaur.

Name origin

Haxorus is a combination of hack (to chop or cut down), axe, and σαῦρος saurus (Greek for lizard).

Ononokus may be a combination of 斧 ono (axe), 戦く ononoku (to tremble), and アックス akkusu (axe).
