This seems to be the inspiration for the Pokémon Diancie: https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Diancie_(Pok%C3%A9mon) https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki

  Pokémon characters must have been conceptualized and designed by quite a few people at this point. Each of those character writers will draw inspiration from various sources. I’m not quite sure what to do with knowing it was “inspired” by a certain geological phenomenon. Yes, it might be a feel-good fact about a fictional character which might guide kids to learn about the world around them. However, unless there’s some deeper aspect that carries through to character development, the Pokémon world can easily get filled with superficial characters with a disjointed “look at me, I’m so cosmopolitan” feel.
