The Pokémon Baxcalibur features some similarities and references to the kaiju movie monster Godzilla:
• Baxcalibur has a back fin similar to both Godzilla's backplates, and to the Spanish theropod dinosaur Concavenator.
• Its Pokédex entry in Pokémon Violet, as well as its signature movie Glaive Rush, appear to be a reference to a scene from the 1971 film "Godzilla vs. Hedorah" in which Godzilla flings himself into the air using his nuclear breath, and uses his dorsal fins and weight to attack Hedorah:

"It launches itself into battle by flipping upside down and spewing frigid air from its mouth. It finishes opponents off with its dorsal blade."

• Arctibax evolves into Baxcalibur at level 54, a reference to the first Godzilla film being released in 1954.
