Trivia[edit]

  • Although water-themed spells such as Maelstrom have appeared before in the series, they are typically categorized as wind or ice spells depending on the game.
  • Splish's Japanese name Zaba (ザバ) is an onomatopoetic word for the sound of water splashing. It can also be written as ざば.[2] This is also the origin of Geyzer's Japanese name, Zaban.
