#163 Hoothoot- it does have only one leg, right? the anime has depicted it with two feet a different points of time.

Hoothoot seems to be based on a combination of an owl—more specifically the Eagle Owl—and a clock, as its crest's prongs are shaped like the hands of a clock; in addition, it has the ability to keep track of time.

Hoothoot is derived from hoot, an onomatopoeia for the sound an owl makes. It may also be a combination of hoot and cuckoo, as in a Cuckoo clock, referring to Hoothoot's keen ability to keep track of time. Hoho is derived from hoo, another onomatopoeia for the sound an owl makes.

Ledian is based on a ladybug. Its Shiny coloration seems to be based on Coccinella transversalis:

*note that female Ledian distinctively have shorter antennae.

Ledian may be a corruption of Redian. Redian may be a combination of the corrupted forms of ladybug or ladybird and red.

#168 Ariados (my sticky web/toxic spikes set up user!)

Ariados's appearance is based on the Myrmarachne formicaria spider, but with the prosoma (thorax and head area) and opisthosoma (abdominal area) reversed, fitting with its Pokédex entry.

Ariados is named after the Greek myth of Theseus and Ariadne, wherein Ariadne gave Theseus a ball of twine before he entered the Labyrinth to slay the Minotaur, so that he may trail the strand behind him and find his route back to her. Ariados may also be a combination of arachnid (Latin for spider) and 脅す odosu (to threaten) or dos (Spanish for two, used possibly because it has two stingers, or because it is the second form in its evolutionary line).

#178 Natu (Tiny Bird Pokémon)
500px-177Natu.png

Natu shares its species name with Pidgey and Spearow. They are all known as the Tiny Bird Pokémon (though Natu was known as the Little Bird Pokémon in Generation II).

Natu appears to be based on a parrot. It also resembles a quail.

Natu may be derived from native and Atu (the first man of Samoan mythology). Natu is also Latin for birth. Naty may be a shortening of native.
