Trivia

• Tranquill is the only Pokémon that has a base stat total of 358.

Origin

Judging from both its Black and White Pokédex entries, Tranquill may be based on a dove, often used as a symbol of peace, and possibly a homing pigeon, a domestic pigeon bred to find its way home over extremely long distances. Its design is similar to that of the Greater Roadrunner or Secretarybird.

Name origin

Tranquill is a combination of tranquil (calm or unstressed) and quill (a feather from the tail of a bird). It also involves quail.

Hatoboh may be a combination of 鳩 hato (pigeon) and 逃亡 tōbō (escape) or 尨 'bō' (shaggy hair). Additionally, in some works of Kenji Miyazawa, a fictional ideal world 「イーハトーヴォ」 Ihatov often appears. The Pokédex entry in Pokémon White says, "Many people believe that, deep in the forest where Tranquill live, there is a peaceful place where there is no war," which might be implying Kenji's utopia.

In other languages

Language Title Meaning Japanese ハトーボー Hatoboh From 鳩 hato and 逃亡 tōbō or 尨 bō. May also from イーハトーヴォ Ihatov, a fictional ideal in some works of Kenji Miyazawa. French Colombeau From colombe and beau Spanish Tranquill Same as English name German Navitaub From navigator and Taube Italian Tranquill Same as English name Korean 유토브 Yutobeu From U-turn, utopia and dove Mandarin Chinese 波波鴿 Bōbōgē 波 bō may be from the Japanese 波 ha or transliteration of boh in its Japanese name. 鴿 gē means "dove" or "pigeon". May also be a reference to 波波 (Pidgey). Cantonese Chinese
