[Rainbow-Sasuke]

Post any strange Pokémon facts you know or found on the Interwebs. Here's one:

The only other possible starter triangles other than Grass/Fire/Water are Psychic/Dark/Fighting, Fire/Rock/Steel, Grass/Poison/Ground and Rock/Fighting/Flying.

Kepp it going!

You best be trolling.
The shrooms on Parasect actually controlls it.

Couple of points...


Psychic/Dark/Fighting doesn't work as Dark is actually immune to Psychic.

However, you also missed one:

Grass/Ground/Fire

I really don't see the point of this thread, but as long as it's fun, I'm fine with it!

Did you know Machoke has five toes whereas Machamp has only two?

How about the fact that we know there's more then one Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres, but they can't breed, and don't even have a gender?

Asexual birds? Craziness.

 

[tkallab]

I find it weird that when Pokémon die, they actually become real ghosts and not just Ghost Pokémon.

Slowpoke can create a Shelder out of thin air in order to evolve...

*Zapdos used Mitosis!* :laugh:

Nincada is the only pokemon that basically splits into two pokemon when it evolves.

Apparently objects can turn into Pokémon when they're exposed to the sun for too long.

Grass/Ground/Fire

Ground doesn't resist Fire, it just takes neutral damage. I actually didn't realize this myself until my Torterra ate a Flame Wheel from Barry's Infernape and my game displayed it as "super Effective" XD

electric/water/rock? doesnt that work??? haa. ghost pokemon can die, and become ghosts!

Electric isn't weak to Rock, nor is Rock resistant to electric. XD

On the topic of ghosts though, I never thought of ghost-types as reanimated dead beings, more like spiritual beings with the ability to phase out of timespace. I actually wouldn't be surprised to learn if the type's Japanese name translates closer to "spirit" than "ghost". :P

That when Poliwag evolves into Poliwhirl, its swirl changes direction

A female Azurill has 1/3 chance of evolving into a male marill

[GaXeL]

Slowpoke isn't the slowest pokemon, shuckle is
Starmie is technically invulnerable unless you take out his jewel
Wailord is the biggest pokemon but not legendary
Lotad doesn't appear Mexican but lombre and ludicolo look Mexican (no derr lol)

@Sin1488 yes it is due to their different gender ratios

In RBY Likitung could not learn Lick

Nidorina & Nidoqueen cannot breed but Nidoran F can

when pikachus meet, instead of shaking hands or rubbing noses, they interlock their tails.

That's odd, I wonder why they would make it different like that?
