Strange Pokémon Facts!

As of D/P, Candice is the only gym leader to not use the combination of Water/Ice. I think it also goes for Platinum. Wait, I think the new ice gym leader also does not use any water/ice combination.

Hachiku, the ice gym leader in Black/White, is the only gym leader who specializes in ice types that uses pure ice type Pokemon. While Candice uses dual ice type Pokemon, but none of them are of the water/ice dual type. Just wanted to clear that up!

Did you know that a Kadabra trading card hasn't been produced since Skyridge, which was released October 4, 2002.

this is because a magician named Uri Geller, who claims to bend spoons with his mind filed a lawsuit against nintendo for using him as a pokemon.

Alakazams japanese name is very similar to Uri Geller, i think it's Yun'gella or something

Most Normal-type Pokémon are either pure Normal or Normal/Flying. In the first-generation games, this rule was universal; in generations two and three, Girafarig (Normal/Psychic) was the only exception; the fourth generation added Bibarel (Normal/Water) and the fifth added the deer Pokémon #585 Shikijika and #586 Mebukijika (Normal/Grass) and the event legendary #648 Meroetta (Normal/Psychic in its Voice Forme, Normal/Fighting in its Step Forme). As you can see, Normal is also universally Type 1 rather than Type 2. This makes Normal by far the least-combined type, with only five combinations to its name; all other types have at least nine different combinations as of the fifth generation, meaning they've been combined with at least half of the other types in addition to standing alone.

That would be Kadabra, but it's correct that their names are sort of similar.

It's funny how I learnt that and wondered when i would use it :P

I think this was said before, but Im too lazy to look. Slowpoke is not the slowest pokemon despite its name, Shuckle and Munchlax are :D
