Origin
According to Ken Sugimori, Audino was designed with the anime in mind, to replace Nurse Joy's Chansey in the Unova region.[3]
Audino seems to be partially based on rabbits, with features similar to that of a physician or nurse. The stethoscope-like feelers on its ears also bring to mind a cochlea, a part of the inner ear involved in hearing, or a butterfly's antennae, or proboscis. The ears themselves resemble wings, which may reference the caduceus as a symbol of medicine in the United States. The ears also resemble butterfly wings, especially in its Mega Evolved form, which may mean it was based on some depictions of a fairy. Mega Audino could take some influence from angels, as well as doctors. Mega Audino may also have a resemblance to the Sweet Lolita fashion style, having a flowing, white-and-pink "coat", "boots", and ears, or perhaps even the Magical Girl subgenre seen in Japanese pop culture.
Name origin
Audino may be derived from audio and a pun on the phrase "I dunno."
Tabunne may be derived from a pun of 多分ね tabun ne (maybe) or 多聞 tabun (hearing many things). It may also involve 耳朶 mimitabu (earlobe).
