yanmega's pokedex clearly says it can carry an adult on its back, but it cannot learn fly. as a matter of fact, neither can any other bug type. WTH, game freak?
However, there are 2 Bug types who can learn Fly: Urugamoth and Genesect. While the latter doesn't have wings and doesn't appear to have a viable way to fly, the former does.

Maybe it turns into a jet? :S

The only pokemon that was only featured in one episode and nothing more was "Venustoise", a combination of Blastoise and Venasuar, though it was really only an illusion created by Ghastly, so it might not count.

This is a Ghost/Ground? And what's even weirder is that it can Fly. It has no wings, does not have Levitate as an ability, and isn't a Flying type. Now, I know that ghosts "fly" or float or whatever, but if that were the case, then other ghosts would be able to learn Fly. So why just this guy? Okay then.

I heard that's supposed to be a reference to the movie "Iron Giant"... :\

The non-legendary Pokemon Shuckle can, as of Generation IV, deal 213,896,052 damage (under numerous conditions, though)! :cer_disbelief:



Also, Gastly, a Ghost-type limbless floating ball of gas, can learn Fire Punch, yet as of BW, Enbuoo, a bipedal Fire-type boar starter Pokemon, cannot. And even Enbuoo's Pokedex entry makes reference to the move. WTF?! :cer_pissed:

In R/B PIkachu could not learn Thunderbolt via level up
To be fair, nothing learned T-bolt via level in R/B as it was exclusively available from the TM24 you received upon beating Lt. Surge.

Yellow was the odd game for exclusively letting Pikachu learn T-bolt via level, and since then many electric-types are capable of learning Tbolt by level. XD

From third generation on, only cat-like Pokemon have access to Pay Day. More Pokemon had access to the move in first gen because Pay Day was TM16 back then.

Dragon and Ghost are the only types that are super-effective on themselves.
As a dual-typed pokemon with both types being dragon is impossible, no pokemon has a 4x weakness to the dragon-type.
Dewgong, Spheal,Sealeo and Walrein with Thick Fat all have a triple-resist to the ice-type.

Altaria and Steelix both changed their primary type upon evolution, whilst maintaining their secondary type.

Personally, I think it's suppose to be a golem, not like the existing pokemon, Golem, but like one of these:


The ones I know of are of Jewish origins, and they are suppose to be some kind of guardian made of clay, so it makes sense that it would be Ghost/Ground type. :D


Also, Gastly, a Ghost-type limbless floating ball of gas, can learn Fire Punch, yet as of BW, Enbuoo, a bipedal Fire-type boar starter Pokemon, cannot. And even Enbuoo's Pokedex entry makes reference to the move. WTF?! :cer_pissed:
lol :P

Besides, since Ghastly is just a floating ball of gas, wouldn't it catch itself on fire if it used any kind of Fire-type move? :S

Gengar was said to be a reference to the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland
That's hilarious and awesome if that's true, I knew there was something about it's smile, and that's exactly why I made this the other day:

Gengar's probably more based on the concept of a Doppelganger that hides in one's shadow in order to collect their soul, but if Gengar ever gets an animation similar to that in a main series Pokemon game, I will just dies of joy. :D

lol, I would put it into a game if I ever figure out how to make a hack, so that's the best we could get. :P

Porygon has a BST of 395, higher then that of Butterfree, Beedrill, Dustox, and Beautifly, all Stage 3 evolutions.
  • Likewise, it's first Evolution, Porygon2, has the highest BST of any Pokémon able to evolve at 515.
  • With the item Miracle of Evolution, both of Porygon2's defenses are boosted by 1.5, giving it higher defenses then Deoxys-D.

Porygon's tail has a joint hidden in it (as shown by the Show and in Mystery Dungeon), allowing it to bend to an extent.

While Porygon is shown to have pink eyelids in the 3D games, Porygon2 and Porygon-Z's are the same color as their eyes (changing from an open state to a - ).
  • This is changed in Pokémon Black and White, where Porygon's eyelids are parts of its eyes, like its evolutions. However, Porygon-Z's eyes don't close at all when it's asleep.

Not counting hidden joints, Porygon, as of Generation V, has exactly 43 polygonal faces.

Too hilarious.

And when I was looking up Duskull when he was first released, he was supposed to be both Ghost and Fighting. But he ended up being just a Ghost...

And why haven't they made a Jiang Shi Pokemon?

That's hilarious and awesome if that's true, I knew there was something about it's smile, and that's exactly why I made this the other day:

Yeah, how it got the refrence because it's said that the dark, you can only see it's eyes and grin.

There is no place to take naps on your journey minus a few places. That means you trudge around for (insert time taken to play game) without eating or sleeping!
Since most games nowadays have a real-time feature, I'd assume that whenever you save your game and turn it off, your character is sleeping, eating, urinating, or defecating only to finish up and return to the same exact same spot when you turn your game back on. XD
