===Origin===
Pincurchin is based on a sea urchin. It may specifically be based on the Varium Sea Urchin, also known as the Electric Urchin. Its English name also suggests that it may be based on a pincushion. It's mouth also resembles roe, a delicacy made up of fish eggs, referencing how urchin roe (or "uni") is sometimes eaten in Japan. Urchin roe specifically is also colored yellow or orange (the latter which is shown in its Shiny coloration).
===Etymology===
Pincurchin derives from "pincushion", "sea urchin", and possibly "pin".
Its Japanese name, Bachin'uni, is a combination of "bachin" (Japanese onomatopoeia of electricity sparkling) and "uni" (sea urchin).
