===Origin===
Walking Wake is based on . Its bipedal reptilian appearance is based on dinosaurs and possibly the — the latter also has the ability to run on water. It may also be based on the , which appears to be one of Suicune's original inspirations.
Being more specific on Walking Wake's theropod features and Water typing, it could be based on a number of genera. It shares characteristics with the genus, one of the earliest known theropods, and also called to a lesser degree Rioarribasaurus, from Río arriba (upriver in Spanish). Coelophysis lived in the period, characterized by a dry and hot climate, although with frequent flash floods in the areas with more rainfall. In fact, the site contained a group of Coelophysis presumably buried together due to one of these floods. These facts could contribute to Walking Wake's resemblance with Suicune, a Pokémon associated with water bodies. Walking Wake's signature move becoming stronger in sunlight despite being a Water-type move could come from the aforementioned dry climate of the Triassic. As Walking Wake is much larger than the real-life Coelophysis and many other theropod dinosaur Pokémon, it may also be based on larger theropods such as , which is commonly depicted with spines along its back similar to those seen on Walking Wake.
====Name origin====

Uneruminamo can be taken literally as うねる水面 uneru minamo (undulating water's surface).
