Wimpod is the anthropod pokemon (its name is a combination of wimp and the taxonomic term pod (foot), such as in isopod). In fact appears to be based on Ligia spp. common amphibious isopods with long, prominent antennae.

Isopods are common in marine and freshwater habitats and there are important terrestrial and parasitic suborders. It includes the familiar terrestrial pill bugs, wood lice, and sea slaters, and about 4000 less familiar marine species. Isopods are usually dorsoventrally flattened. 

Finally a true isopod pokemon.  It is corroborated by Wimpod’s description saying it lives in/near the ocean, where Ligia species are found.
