Talk:Fraxure (Pokémon)

Name origin

Because it's apparently locked, I'll put it here; fracture (to break something, usually hard organic material, ie. bone) + axe. - unsigned comment from Frugali (talk • contribs)

Fraxure's pronunciation.

Is Fraxure pronounced as "Fracture" or "Fraks-urr"? Zarthga 16:08, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

How are we supposed to know? Nintendo doesn't release pronunciation guides, and it hasn't appeared in the anime yet, so we have nothing to go on. —Minimiscience 16:21, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Trivia - 26%?

Requiring 38 levels to evolve from Axew and just 10 more to evolve into Haxorus, Fraxure has the distinction of having the lowest relative second-stage evolution requirement, at just 26%. - I wonder, how did you count this? because 10/48 is actually 20,83%, not 26% as stated in Trivia.

• They probably did 10/38, which does end up being around 26%. --RiverAura 20:48, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

First Gen V Pokémon

I edited the Trivia section with this fact, which I found out on ONM. [1]--SpeedSuicune 16:40, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

In a Nintendo Dream interview, Sugimori instead said that Haxorus was the first Generation V Pokémon designed. Based on the fact that the Nintendo Dream interview was conducted without a translator and provides more detail on why (including the fact that its pre-evolutions were derived from its design), I believe that ONM's translator simply mixed up Haxorus and Fraxure. Furthermore, the fact that the ONM interview (archived link) mentions that the Pokémon's "side looks like an axe", which would surely refer to Haxorus rather than Fraxure. (Also, from checking my copies, the factoid about Fraxure was never published in the Official Nintendo Magazine itself, only ever on their website, although I'm not sure if that's relevant.)

I believe that ONM made a mistake here, while Nintendo Dream has the correct information. --SnorlaxMonster 04:59, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
