Humorous Things in the Pokedex

[Peeko]

The title of this thread should be somewhat self-explanatory. What are some things in the Pokedex that seem borderline crazy to you? For example, the fact that Abra is tall than Azumarill struck me as quite odd.

 

[GhostFingers]

Grimer and Muk are the same weight

 

[Umbreon Freak]

I've always found Drowzee's entry in HeartGold pretty amusing: "If you think that you had a good dream, but you can't remember it, a Drowzee has probably eaten it."

Darumaka's droppings are hot, so people used to put them in their clothes to keep themselves warm.
- Darumaka's White 'Dex entry.
Ew.

 

[Trainer Gabriel]

Alakazam weighs less than Kadabra.

A Quagsire doesn't care if it bumps its head against rocks or boats while swimming.

The spiral pattern on a Poliwag's belly differ by area and are actually its inward intestines visible through the skin.

Charizard is only 1.7 meters tall, most people I know are taller than that. It's also heavier than Blastoise who should be a lot heavier.

Wailord is nearly 50 ft but somehow weighs less than a ton.

Klefki's dex entry says it threatens attackers by fiercely jingling their keys at them. Klefki needs to find a new intimidation strategy.

Durant's dex entry says it covers itself in steel armor to protect itself from Heatmor. I'm pretty sure evolution is supposed to make you better prepared for your environment not make you die easier from it.

Wailord is nearly 50 ft but somehow weighs less than a ton.

That is because it is based on a zeppelin too
So it contains a lot of air or something. I'm pretty sure there may be some kind of logic behind its low BMI

Anyway, Dunsparce is 1,5 meters (5 ft) long (making it larger than Nidoking, Nidoqueen and Quagsire, among others), but only weighs 14 kg (less than a Zigzagoon)
I find that amusing
Especially knowing that Krookodile is 1,5 m tall as well, but it weighs 96,3 kg

Quagsire is 1.4 m.That's almost 1 and a half meter sticks people.That's HUGE.About as tall as shrubbery.Beavers (what it's obviously based on) aren't that big.

Quagsire is very obviously not based on a beaver. It's probably based on the Japanese Giant Salamander, which can indeed grow to 1,5 meters in some cases

In other news, Dugtrio weighs 33,3 kg and Electrode weighs 66,6 kg (devil!)
Repeating numbers are nice :3

Well, to be fair, Heatmor probably developed the ability to generate fire as a response to Durant's development of steel armor.
