Trivia

• Tamagetake is the third Pokémon to resemble a Poké Ball, the others being Voltorb, and Electrode.
  • However, unlike the others, it only has a Poké Ball design on it, instead of being in the shape of one.
  • Likewise, it features the whole design, complete with the circle resembling the button in the middle (contrary to Voltorb's evolution line having just the shape and general colors, and according to the Pokédex, being transformed Poké Balls themselves).
• Tamagetake and its evolved form Morobareru share their species name with Paras, Parasect, Shroomish, Breloom. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
  • Coincidently, these are the only Pokemon that can know move Spore, with the obvious exception of Smeargle.
  • Interestingly, all of the above Pokémon debut in an odd numbered generation, Paras and Parasect in Generation I, Shroomish and Breloom in Generation III, and Tamagetake and Morobareru in Generation V.

Origin

It appears to be based on Amanita muscaria or mushrooms of the Agaricus genus, due to it being part-Template:Type2. The cap is designed to look like the front of a Poké Ball.

Name origin

Its name may be derived from 茸 take, mushroom (or, more specifically, the Shiitake mushroom), and 玉 tama, sphere, referencing the design of its cap. Another possible origin is the word 魂消る tamageru, "to be astonished."
