Somewhat similarly, while the R/B/Y type chart also truthfully tells you that Ghost is only weak to itself, the only Ghost attack that deals variable damage is Lick, which has a base damage of 20 - meaning that being super-effective only lets it deal about as much damage as a neutral Ember or Thundershock.

Raise your hand if you painstakingly raised a Gyarados to use against Lance's dragons.

In Red, Blue and Yellow, there was only one Dragon move, Dragon Rage, which deals set damage (40 HP), so Dragon's weakness to Dragon never actually came into account despite being written into the type chart in the instruction booklet.

Some things a lot of people don't realize about the first-generation games. Some trainers also randomly switched places with other trainers on the same route. Many of them retained the same Pokémon or mostly the same as Diamond and Pearl, while others who kept the same name had their teams completely renewed, so the implication doesn't seem to be that they're different trainers.

Platinum randomly changed the names of at least six trainers around Sinnoh.

At least one species of Pokémon evolves at every level from 14 to 45.

But it counts for all relevant purposes.) (Well, Ho-oh is technically five characters, not letters, if you want to be pedantic. No real five-lettered word in the English language is this flexible.

' HO-OH' can be read backwards and forwards, flipped horizontally or vertically or rotated 180 degrees without changing.

Make your own fun facts lists by all means, though! Random Trivia If you just want to discuss cool Pokémon facts with me, awesome, but this page is not open for submissions. In fact, if you e-mail me additions, it makes me less inclined to put them up, because if I did put them up I could neither honestly credit you (again, there is no copyright on facts, and what if I knew that fact already?) nor not do so (I'd feel like I was ripping you off somehow if I didn't). This is just random stuff I've discovered that I find interesting I'll add to it when something catches my attention. This page will obviously never have every conceivable interesting fact about Pokémon on it, so it's not as if I 'missed' something if your favorite fact isn't here. Secondly, no, I do not want you to e-mail me more fun facts to put here. First, there is no copyright on factual information, so you are free to talk about these individual facts elsewhere without crediting me however, don't just copy and paste my list, or large chunks of my list, everywhere as if you were the one who put it together and did the write-up. Some random Pokémon-related facts you may or may not already know.Ī couple of notes.
