Origins

Treecko's appearance is based heavily off of a gecko or lizard. More specifically, it is likely based on a leaf-tailed gecko.

Treecko's English name comes from combining the words "tree" and "gecko". Similarly, its Japanese name, Kimori, comes from combining the words "ki" (tree) and "yamori" (gecko).

Trivia

  • Treecko and Snivy are the only Grass-type starting Pokémon not able to learn Razor Leaf.
  • It is the only Grass-type starter not to walk on all four legs, besides Snivy.
  • Treecko is the only Grass-type starter that can climb trees. Snivy may be able to climb trees as well.
  • Treecko looks like Snivy, the Grass-type starter Pokémon in the Unova region even though Snivy is based on a snake and Treecko is based on a lizard called a gecko.
