Stupid, Funny, Interesting, Weird, Uncommon and Unobvious Pokemon Facts

[pikadon92]

Hitmontop does not have any matching naming schemes as hitmonlee and hitmonchan in ALL the languages!

[Mattykins]

Metagross weighs about 1212 pounds

That, of course, is two twelves.

12 x 12 = 144

144 is... a gross :3

Probably just a fun coincidence. o:

[James2344]

someone has probably posted this but blazikan and latias were originally 1 pokemon

[Shine]

Metagross weighs about 1212 pounds

That, of course, is two twelves.

12 x 12 = 144

144 is... a gross :3

Probably just a fun coincidence. o:

...or maybe it is intended

I kinda doubt they just randomly picked 1212 for its weight.








Anyway, despite having flame (which is intangible) for their tail, both Ponyta and Rapidash are capable of learning the move Iron Tail.

This is just as weird as Alakazam and Primeape being able to learn the move, since having something intangible for your tail makes it just as impossible as having no tail.

[Ferrin]

magneton is made by three magnemite and weighs 10 times more. magnemite weighs 13.0 pounds, magneton weighs 132 pounds.and
all five professors are named after trees. Oak, Elm, Birch, Rowan, and Juniper

[amittal12]

-Mamoswine and its evolutionary line are the only Pokemon family which have a typing which allows them not to take any damage from weather(Ice/Ground).The other possible combinations Ice/Steel and Ice/Rock have not materialized.Though other Pokemon with Overcoat also don't take any damage,it is due to their ability.

-They are also the only Pokemon to take Super Effective damage from the Primary STAB of all the starters.

-Swinub,Piloswine,Mamoswine,Vibrava,Flygon,Gible,Ga bite and Garchomp can cause Super Effective damage to every Pseudo Legendary with just their STAB attacks(Ice/Dragon attacks take care of Dragonite,Salamence,Garchomp and Hydreigon while Ground attacks take care of Tyranitar and Metagross).

[Arceus_17]

Here's something interesting that supports the theory that Kangaskhan was originally supposed to be (or to have...) an evolution.

The fact is, iff you perform the "TM 55 Glitch" in Pokemon Yellow, you can actually see a Kangaskhan trying to evolve...

And also a funny thing - though I think this is pretty random - when you finish that glitch, a Kangaskhan's spirte appears in Lavender Town, replacing some girl, asking you if you believe in ghosts...

[WildHennaCharizard]

fire starters are based on the chinaese Zodiac:
Charmander: dragon
Cydaqual: Rat
Torchic: Rooster
Chimchar: monkey
tepig:Pig/boar

Water starters are based on semi-acqatic animals

[DominickTheGamer]

Wobbuffet is the only fully evolved Pokemon that can't learn any TMs

Illumise is the only Pokemon in Generation 3 whose name starts with the letter I

[Nyarlathotep]

fire starters are based on the chinaese Zodiac:
Charmander: dragon
Cydaqual: Rat
Torchic: Rooster
Chimchar: monkey
tepig:Pig/boar

Water starters are based on semi-acqatic animals

That is a very interesting fact, though Cyndaquil isn't a rat, but a echidna.
Judging by it, the next Fire-Type starter will be:

- A sheep? That would be cool.
- A horse? Meh, Ponyta again?
- A rabbit? It would be cool too.
- A tiger? Hm... no. :c
- An ox? Now that would be interesting.
- A snake? We already have Charmander as a reptile-like Fire starter.
- A dog? Houndoom 2.0?

Talking about starters, all Grass-Type ones are based on reptile animals.

Bulbasaur = dinosaur.
Chikorita = dinosaur too.
Treecko = lizard.
Turtwig = tortoise.
Snivy = snake.

[Ryboy]

Idk if this is really that funny but i find it funny...that eevees have E.V.s lmao

[Ash&Pikachu-Fan]

I have one, its kind of obvious but Pikachu's the very first electric type Pokemon in the Kanto and National Pokedex! I'm not sure about the others regions.

[Azran Flame]

Anyway, despite having flame (which is intangible) for their tail, both Ponyta and Rapidash are capable of learning the move Iron Tail.

This is just as weird as Alakazam and Primeape being able to learn the move, since having something intangible for your tail makes it just as impossible as having no tail.

Not to mention, iron would probably melt in a fire like that (assuming that the temperature is high enough), or at least not be very effective at all.

[Psychic Politoed]

I checked and Golduck and Golbat (both names starting with Gol) are tied along with their pre-evolved forms for having the most Pokedex entries, with Pokemon Black and White being the only Pokemon games with new Pokedex entries that did not give them new entries due to only introducing Unova Pokemon entries.

[Trainer10913]

These have probably been said but...

Hitmonlee is based of Bruce Lee

and Hitmonchan is based off Jackie Chan.

The names of cities and towns in Unova come from different types of cloud or cloud phenomena. Landorus, Thunderus and Tornadus all ride on clouds.

[DX Installation 05]

In Pewter City Museum, you can see pictures of Kabutops fossil/skeleton and Aerodactyl fossil/skeleton, but none for Omastar. Two Missingno. variants in the first Generation games have these skeletal sprites (the Kabutops one appears awesome). Guess what two fossil Pokemon are revived in Movie 5? And I do recall seeing an early trailer (trailers always lie) in which the two revived fossils remained as skeletons.

[just mew]

dont know if it is alredy been said,
but, Roost cancel the effect of Sky Drop
I mean like this:
enemy used Sky drop
My pokemon used roost
both pokemon go back to the ground

[TheEliteEmpoleon]

Cubone was originally going to be called "Orphan".........

[TheReckless1]

WOW! That is.... something. At least I can say i learned something new.

[GreatGonzales]

Charizard couldn't learn fly in R/B/G. This bug was fixed in Yellow.

In the 1st generation in lavender tower, before you acquired the silph scope the unnamed "ghost" pokemon was supposed to be a decayed, disembodied hand, shaped like a fist. The attacks were to be 2 moves unique to the ghost pokemon. Also, Cubone's ghost / mother Marowak was was supposed be much stronger. If it defeated you in battle, the Marowak would speak, saying "finally, fresh meat", and the game would likely give you an effective "game over", but the planned outcome is unknown. Needless to say, these details were erased because they were deemed far too scary.

[Crimson Penguin]

If one were to combine the types of Gliscor and Empoleon and put them on one Pokemon, that Pokemon would have no weaknesses.

[Dylz]

all five professors are named after trees. Oak, Elm, Birch, Rowan, and Juniper

Don't forget about Ivy, and there is one professor that isn't called after a tree: Professor Hastings

Did you know that Meloetta has the longest cry in the game? (What I've heard.)

[ChaosA7X]

Giratina is the Pokemon Devil..and here is a video that explains its. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6FumCqna6I

[Mystical Jackal]

A woman that was lost in an ice mountain was reborn as Froslass...

So human can turn into Pokemon?... Is that it? o.O

[LordLucario21]

You can surf on a tree near the PWT building in B2W2

One of the pokemon that never made it to the light was a water-type starter called Kurusu.

There was supposed to be a surfboard in gen 1.

All the exhibits in the Marine Museum in RSE state true facts.

Shellos was supposed to originate in Gen 3

Lucario is basically an anagram of Riolu but with two extra letters.

Victreebell was the last Gen 1 Pokemon created.

They inserted a stealth parody of Yoda in Violet city in GSC
