Okidogi (Japanese: イイネイヌ Īneinu) is a Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Okidogi together with Munkidori and Fezandipiti, known as The Heroes of Kitakami, are beloved by the people of the village as heroes that protected the land of Kitakami in the past, and stone statues were made in their likeness to express the people’s gratitude toward these three Pokémon.[1]
Trivia
Origin
Okidogi may be based on a dog, more specifically on the Shiba Inu or the Japanese Akita.
Okidogi, together with Ogerpon, Munkidori, and Fezandipiti, may reference the Japanese folktale of Momotarō. The tale relates the titular Momotarō, a boy born from inside a peach, who traveled alongside a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant to fight a band of ōni (a Japanese folkloric creature commonly equated to ogres in translations).
Name origin
Okidogi may be derived from okie-dokie and dog.
Īneinu may be derived from いいね ii ne (interjection to express approval) and 犬 inu (dog).
