Origins
Metapod appears to be based on a cocoon by a caterpillar.
Names in other languages
- English: Metapod came from metamorphosis and pod.
- Japanese: トランセル (Toranseru in Romaji), probably means "trancer" due to evolving from Caterpie to Metapod, or "trance cell" because every cell in its body tranced.
