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

Gon: Why couldn't you just turn off your game, then save every level up until it evolves? Once it reaches the level, turn off your game if the gender changed...

Wouldn't do it. A Pokemon's gender is determined by it's personality value, which does not chance once the pokemon have been created. You suggesting an equivalent of leveling a Pokemon to it's evolution level and keep turning off unitl it became a shiny.

Ar: I thought there were eight...

Pikachu, Raichu, Pichu, Plusle, Minun and Pachirisu.

Cel: Yes, there is an Ice form Castform. The reason for no Sand form is because Sandstorms are technically, not real weather...

Finally somebody else realizes that!


Garchomp has the lowest base attack among pseudo-legendaries, "only" 130.

Yeah, that happened to me. I wanted a female azumarill so bad then my stupid azurill evolved from female to male. I was so mad I restarted my entire game.
I've never understood people who do that. -_- It's like selling your car because some the paint gets scratched.

They have 6 electric rats. (this bothers me sooo bad)

Castform for some bizzarre reason has NO ice or sand form.

It takes almost 10 times as many steps to hatch a Dratini egg as it does to hatch a Magikarp egg.

From Celebi's dex entry:
It is thought that so long as Celebi appears, a bright and shining future awaits us.

From Togekiss' dex entry:
It will never appear where there is strife.

What do these two Pokemon have in common? You never encounter them in the field. Social commentary much, Gamefreak?

Did you know that a new protein was discovered in Japan called Pikachurin, named after Pikachu, which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain?

Shadow Pokemon FTW
Since every episode of the pokemon anime ends with "to be continued" except the finales, every season is technically one episode.

Rock Smash is weaker than tackle. An attack that can smash boulders is somehow weaker than than a charging attack?!

To my knowledge, no trainer you battle in the main Pokemon games ever have nicknamed Pokemon in their teams... yet in Pokemon contests, every single Pokemon you go up against (again, to my knowledge) is nicknamed.

Gon: However, when you are in the same contest as Fantina, she will have a Drifblim with the name, Loony... or it may have been a different Drifblim than her battling Drifblim...
Water-type moves does normal damage to Torterra due to it being part ground. Also, Empo can use Ice Beam ;)

Ar: And Drill Peck...
Five. Squirrel=/=rat. ;417;

Cel: No, I mean eight. Isn't the Shinx family all mice?

Wha... No, they're supposed to be lions.

Cel: Oh. That makes a lot more sense. Anyways, in the pokemon rescue team episode, Gengar once adressed Ekans as "Arbok"...

Mice? o_O No, they're felines.
You look Luxray in the eye and tell him he's a mouse. ;405;


DEspite Drowzee and Hypno's signature move being Dream Eater, and Dorwzee famous for eating dreams, they can only learn Dream Eater by TM. Whaaa....?

Cel: Someone already told me this. I get the point. Anyways, on your way to Snowpoint city, you have to cross a snowstorm. Every battle on that route, you are in a hailstorm...
