Trivia

• Grovyle's evolutionary line is one of two Grass-type lines that are not in the Plant Egg Group. The other is the Lileep line.
• Grovyle's evolutionary line is the only Grass-type starter family that cannot have Razor Leaf. It can, however, learn Leaf Blade.
• Contradictory to what its artwork shows, all of Grovyle sprites are shown with blue leaves, instead of green.

Origin

Appearance-wise, it resembles the dinosaur known as the Dromaeosaurus. It is believed that the dinosaur had feathers much like how Grovyle has leaves on its body. Its design could be based on a Protarchaeopteryx.

Name origin

Grovyle's name is a combination of the words grove, meaning a group of trees, and possibly vile. Of course, -yle could also refer to "reptile". Its Japanese name is based on jungle or 樹 ju, tree, and reptile or raptor.

In other languages

• German: Reptain - From Reptilien (reptile).
• French: Massko
• Korean: 나무돌이 Namudori - Combination of 나무 namu (tree) and 돌이 dori, a suffix commonly used on animal's names.
