Trivia

• Alpint and Forusk spent an unusually long time being developed, and were some of the last Pokémon to have their designs and names finalised; due to spending so much time without official names, the various proposed designs for Forusk were given their own fan names, including:
  • Cocophant, the coconut elephant.
  • Tikiphant, the tribal elephant.
  • Biollephante, inspired by the plant kaiju Biollante.
  • Tree Trunks, the tree trunk elephant, named partly in reference to the Adventure Time character of the same name.

Design origin

Early concept art for Forusk.

Forusk is based on an African forest elephant and a tree trunk or log.

Name origin

Forusk's name is a combination of forest and tusk.
