[zaxly100]

I got a few:

Ho-Oh and Girafarig are the only Pokemon that are spelled the same forwards and backwards.

Pikachu couldn't learn Thunderbolt in R/B.

The only Poison Type move that the Nidoran families learn is Poison Sting.

Wooper can learn Ice Punch. It has no arms.

In PMD, a Diglett mentions that it has feet.

[Tearen the Absol]

The original coloration for jigglypuff in the anime and drawings always had greenish eyes. Now the regular jigglypuff has blue eyes whereas the shiny has green.

[TwilightFacade]

I got a few:

Ho-Oh and Girafarig are the only Pokemon that are spelled the same forwards and backwards.

Eevee is as well.

[Affirmative]

the geodude line is very strange

This thread is for Pokémon facts, not opinions.

Anyways...Mudkip can grow enough strength to crush rocks.

[bigguy99]

Poliwrath can swim back and forth across the Pacific Ocean without getting tired, and, without any practice, knows the front crawl, butterfly, and breast stroke (swimming styles) when he evolves from Poliwhirl.
A BELT keeps Machoke and Machamp from becoming uber powerful. A FREAKING BELT!

[munchlax505]

Did you notice the similarities of the sprites of vulpix and flareon in FrLg.(maybe the spriters of nintendo were too lazy to create a new one)

[The Lemonkraken]

Sometimes when you evolve a female Azurill into a Marril, the female Azurril turns into a male Marill.

It happened to me once.

[martianman40]

Mew was found in South America according to R/B... so the poke-world didn't yet exist...

I know, and a silph co. scientist mentions being sent to tiski branch, russian's no-man's land.

[Missingno. Master]

Porygon-Z is based off of Glitch Pokémon

In RBY, Poliwag and Poliwhirl could learn Amnesia

In the Hoenn Pokédex, there are no Pokemon that learn Vine Whip, Mega Punch, or Mega Kick by leveling up

.4 has no weaknesses

Shiftry can read minds

Despite constant anime depictions, Nuzleaf cannot learn Grasswhistle

Anorith and Wingull have higher speed than their evolutions

Porygon is larger and heavier than Porygon2

Krabby and Gyarados have the same base Attack stat

Munchlax and Shuckle are tied for having the lowest speed stat ever

Spinda has more forms than any other Pokemon

The number of Spinda forms outnumbers Pokemon species

A male Burmy's form has no effect whatsoever on its evolution

Phione is the only legendary Pokemon capable of reproducing (Manaphy doesn't count because the eggs it lays hatch into Phione)

In Trapinch's evolutionary line, Vibrava has the lowest base attack (both Trapinch and Flygon have base 100 attack, Vibrava has base 70 attack)

Kingdra, Dialga, and Palkia are the only Dragon-types not weak to Ice

Dialga is the only Dragon-type not weak to Dragon

Metagross's evolutionary line is the only one where the highest form is considered a pseudo-legendary and the lowest form is unable to learn Hyper Beam (or most other moves, for that matter)

Porygon's evolutionary line is the only 3-stage evolutionary line where all 3 Pokemon are able to learn Hyper Beam AND Giga Impact

Chatter cannot be Sketched

Arceus can only learn Draco Meteor if it is holding the Draco Plate

Smeargle and non-Dragon Arceus are the only Pokemon that do not get STAB on Draco Meteor.

It is possible for a lv. 6 Doduo to defeat a lv. 47 Dialga

Vibrava, Flygon, and Smeargle are the only non-legendary Pokémon that are not Flying-type and can learn Fly

Chatot has the highest Special Attack out of all Normal/Flying types

Bibarel and Girafarig are the only Normal types with another type that isn't Flying

Gastly can learn all the elemental punches despite an obvious lack of the necessary anatomy

In Red and Blue, Cloyster's shell opened from top to bottom

Despite Shellder changing form when assisting a Slowpoke in evolution, giving a Shellder the item Slowpoketail in GSC does not trigger any change whatsoever

Slowpoke's evolution in the games does not involve Shellder in any way

Slowpoke in the anime have never used any attacks (unless the ones in Azalea Town were using Rain Dance)

In Pokemon Tower, w/o the Silph Scope, even Cubones show up as ghosts

The dead Marowak in Pokemon Tower is the only uncapturable wild Pokemon (except anything else in the tower prior to obtaining Silph Scope)

In FireRed and LeafGreen, Pokeballs, Key Items, TMs, HMs, and Berries can't be deposited into the PC

Breloom is the only evolutionary line where only the absolute basic form can learn a certain sleep move.

All I have.

[Eclipse]

In the original generation sprite, Vaporeon had fins on its ankles.

[SugarPesticide]

Hariyama has a higher catch rate than Makuhita.

Typhlosion can actually explode when it rubs its fur together.

On mystery dungeon, a kyogre can learn thunderbolt through a TM.

[mangaeyes]

i dont get when you hatch a vulpix it has more then one tail.
mr. mime can be a chick(thats messed up)
if mew is the ancestor of all pokemon how could it be alive before arceus created the universe

Mr.Mime can be female because its only in the english version hes called Mr.Mime.

[Doomy]

Slowpoke evolves into Slowking, and you don't even have to evolve it into a Slowbro. So, I don't really see why people like Slowbro. o.o

Its almost impossible to get a slowking!

[Yonowaru in Chaos]

Porygon-Z is the only legitimate Stage 2 Level 1 pokemon.

Giratina and Smeargle can both learn Fly.

Well sure Giratina can, it has wings.

Lt. Surge is from Amercia, and apparently fought in a war...

A Retarded fish (Magikarp) about the size of the average pillow has the strength to pull you up a waterfall, therefore resisting gravity and the pummeling water.

Magikarp can't learn any moves, except for the three that are already assigned to it.

How???????????????

Focus Sash+Quick Attack+Endeavour+Pursuit

On mystery dungeon, a kyogre can learn thunderbolt through a TM.

And in the rest of the games as well.

[Master_Roxas]

in the anime, there are fish(as in REAL fish) in the cerulean gym.

People cook and eat beef and chicken in the anime(and I think the games) but it is never explained as to WHAT they are eating.

Crobat's shiny color is bright pink. How could it hunt? The prey would see it coming.

do you remember that shiny's are RARE? Just like in real life, albino animals would have a ver low chance survive in the wild, the crobat would have been dead since it was a zubat.

[munchlax505]

Shelgon is heavier than Salamence
Beldum is heavier than Nidoking
A Meowth loses its Golden "thing" in its head when it evolves.
And in pokemon game guides, how do they measure the weight of ghost pokemons.

[mangaeyes]

Jynx, Electabuzz and Magmar were origninally going to be the Artincuno, Zapdos and Moltres of Kanto but this was changed at last minute.
