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

[Maruno]

Ash's Noctowl is shiny, though it's colors does not match those from the games, even when all the other Anime shiny pokemon match their shiny game cousins...

Butterfree was the first shiny pokemon in the anime... and it was way before the offical creation of shiny pokemon.

Most of the alternately coloured pokémon in the anime are apparently not so-called shiny pokémon. They haven't sparkled when coming out of their Poké Balls, and they often don't match the colours in the games. They're just differently coloured pokémon, not shiny pokémon.

Strangely, the Surskit line and the Magikarp line have startling similarities.

Both are Water-types in their first stages, and both are part-Flying types in their second stages.

Both have Swift Swim as an ability in their first stages, and have Intimidate as an ability in their second stages.

Poocheyena and Mighteyena are "bite pokemon" but dont learn Crunch. Wth...

They both can learn it in Generation III. The weird thing is that in Generation IV, Poochyena can learn Crunch at level 53, but Mightyena doesn't! Weird...

Fighting and Poison are the only types in which there are no genderless species.

[~Magic Thunderbolt~]

They along with Bug are the only types not on a legendary, discounting Arceus with the appropriate plate.

Mudkip learns Hydro Pump at level 50-something but its evolutions can't learn it by level up.

[~Magic Thunderbolt~]

Ghost and Dark are the only two types that are super-effective against the same types: Psychic and Ghost.

[Mario-Sonic]

Poocheyena and Mighteyena are "bite pokemon" but dont learn Crunch. Wth...

Actually they do learn Crunch in the 3rd generation games. However, it's quite strange that Mightyena can't learn the move normally in the 4th generation (has to remain a Poochyena to get the move).

[~-Overheat-~]

Chimchar can learn Flamethrower by level up but its evos cant.

Im sure this applies to many pokemon though...so that people actually raise their basic pokemon carefully before evolving. Otherwise lv.16 Charmanders would go extinct.

That Butterfree was pink, so it could be a Butterfree from that Island whit all pink pokemon! I can't remember its name but it excist.

At 948 pounds, Heatran is the heaviest Pokemon with a 50/50 gender ratio.

Missingno. has a base Defense of 1.

[BluBoy14]

A pokemon called $ (a glitch from first generation) has the most highest attack stat of 182

Episode 88 - In the Pink!
Pinkan Island, the butterfree could be from the island. The "Pinkan Berries" made them pink and they can only be pink if they keep eating them. So I'm unsure if that pink Butterfree was from the island and eat those berries or it was born pink... but it is not shiny... theres a reason we call shiny Pokemon "shiny".

Anyways, in Pokemon Battle Revolution, it seems that some Pokemon dose not close their "eyes" when they are asleep. Heatran is one of them... Darkrai as well. As well as Dusknoir and the Magnezone's Red/Blue eye. I find that odd. Or just weird.

-_- does the word tail mean anything to you ??

[DragonBlade]

Not sure if this was already mentioned but, all of Spinaraks sprites has a sad face on the front but a smiling face on the back sprites

[Maruno]

Arbok's pattern is slightly different in each Generation, reinforcing the Pokédex entry that states it changes from region to region. The FireRed/LeafGreen sprites match the original Red/Blue/Yellow sprites, keeping things consistent.

[Blue_Ditto_256]

Pokémon are named after the "sound" they make (like Pikachu says Pikachu). If no human has even met Arceus, how could it be named Arceus? (Though, there's a tiny chance it could "growl" like a monster and not say over and over again its name.)

Why do you think Arceus was always called "The Original One" in the games? Nobody knew its true name. The real reason, though, was probably to keep it a mystery to the player what "The Original One" was.

[FireMeowth]

How do we know that Arceus was the one called "The Original One"? That's just speculation, right?

It might just have been the almighty Bidoof.

[Ima_penguin_95]

Steelix is the only pokemon with its typing (steel / ground) as if shedinja (bug / ghost) and skarmory (flying / steel).
I'm sure theres more though.
