Pokémon Facts!

[Pokemon Master Paul]

Typhlosion and Charizard have the same base stat total.

 

[PerseusRad]

Misdreavus was the first Pure Ghost type Pokemon.

 

[KingWiggins]

Jirachi is the only pokemon to learn Doom Desire.

 

[M4zz]

Might have been mentioned already. Didn't see it though.

Mawile was the first pure Steel-Type Pokemon

Regirock was the only Rock Type legendary bar Arceus Rock before Black and White were released.

 

[Hejiru]

Typhlosion and Charizard have the same base stat total.

Adding on to this, it's not just totals (a lot of Pokemon share totals) they have the exact same stats all across the board.

 

[TheEliteEmpoleon]

Empoleon is the single best pokemon ever. Yes, that is a fact.
And, its typing is unique.

Empoleon is the single best pokemon ever. Yes, that is a fact.

No that is opinion, not fact.

And, its typing is unique.

Only until Game Freak create another pokémon with the same typing.

Coral may not be plants, but they obtain the majority of their energy and nutrients from photosynthetic unicellular algae called zooxanthellae that live within the coral's tissue.

So Corsola learning Ingrain isn't that far fetch.

Those algae however, aren't plants themselves, they're photosynthesizing protozoa, and corals still don't have nutrient-absorbing roots, they are only "rooted" in place as it were.
But all this is beside the point. All I was saying is that Corsola is not at all a plant, but still learns Ingrain, a move where the pokemon puts down energy absorbing roots. Just as a trivial fact. ^^

Anyway, here's one odd contribution:

Many of Muk's entries talk about its poisonous footprints. However, Muk is never shown to have feet in the games, and it is listed as not having any footprint at all.

EDIT: Thought of another one that bothered me recently.

Most people have heard that the Ralts line is in the Amorphous breeding group, even though it looks like it should be in the Humanshape group with Alakazam etc.
One thing I learned the hard way is that Trubbish/Garbodor is not in the Amorphous group, despite having the squishy, non-defined-shape body that most other pokemon in that group possess. It is in the Mineral group with the steels and the ground types and the sarcophogi and the bug shell.

Not quite as weird as making Ralts/Kirlia/Gardevoir/Gallade Amorphous instead of Humanshape, but it still really surprised me when I found that out. I guess the garbage bag is the "mineral" part?

How much is that in KM/h ?

More trivia:

The Master Ball is the only non-event ball which cannot be sold.
Fighting, Psychic, Ghost and Ice are the only types used by an elite 4 member/gymleader in every generation.
There are no female elite 4 members/gymleaders with the Bug type as their specialty.

[★ Lucario ★]

HO-OH can be read forwards, backwards, upwards and downwards..

Eevee, Girafarig and Alomomola too.

Although Garchomp is said to fly at the speed of sound, Pidgeot has a lower Speed stat but is said to fly at Mach 2, twice the speed of sound.

 

[Ultimate Champion]

Koffing's sprite is upside down in Pokémon Red and Blue.

 

[Da_Raichu_lova]

Squirtle is not based on a squirrel....

The name comes from Squirt + Turtle. I thought this was obvious.

This Picture says otherwise

 

[PsiOmega]

Bulbasaur is the only starter as of now that has a dual type in it's first evolution. All the other starter Pokemon's base forms are pure Fire, Water, and Grass.

 

[Megh]

Heh, sorry. He just said it in a video and I thought it was kinda neat.

 

[xDWarrior]

God this could go on forever.

-Pikachu is the mascot.
-Totodile is based on a crocodile.
- Satoshi Tajiri created the franchise.

See what I mean? Facts are just facts. Personally I think you should change the title to something along the lines of 'Interesting Pokemon Trivia'.

It's quite obvious he means interesting tidbits of information not everybody might know. Don't be so nitpicky.

For god's sake, Meowth, Vulpix, and Rattata all have the same thing. Are they squirrels?

Suirtle is known for squirting water. "Squirt."
Squirtle is based on a turtle. "Turtle."
Squirt + Turtle = Squirtle.
Is that so hard to believe? There is nothing to suggest they added squirrel in there too. Saying Squirtle is based on a squirrel is just ridiculous.

I have an idea. Electabuzz is yellow with black stripes. It has "Buzz" in its name. My god, Electabuzz is based on a bumblebee.

That picture proves nothing.

Squirtle is based on a sea turtle and the name stems from squirt and turtle, furthermore it's Japanese name is Zenigame which means pond turtle.

It shares nothing with squirrel, which by the way don't have tail like Squirtle.

Although squirrel's have similar tails it's squirt + turtle.
