Trivia
- Tynamo and its evolutionary relatives are the only Pokémon, aside from Ghost/Dark types, to have no weaknesses in battle, due to their Ability Levitate eliminating the Electric-type's weakness to Ground.
- Despite being based on marine animals, and living in the ocean, Tynamo and its evolutionary relatives are not Water-type.
- Because it can only learn Normal and Electric-type moves, the only way Tynamo can damage Golett or Golurk is through Struggle.
- It is the only Generation V Pokémon incapable of learning TMs. Peculiarly, this also means that despite learning Thunder Wave and Charge Beam by level, Tynamo is incompatible with the TMs that teach those moves.
- Tynamo's in-game cry sounds strikingly similar to Shinx's, though only in a higher pitch.
Origin
Tynamo and its evolutionary relatives may be based on electric eels, lampreys, jawless fish and possibly leeches or lancelets. The fact that it is Electric-type may be an allusion to bioelectrogenesis. It also resembles leptocephalus, larval stage of the eel, or also a knifefish. The waving yellow mark running along its body combined with the physical appearance overall makes certain resemblance to Haikouichthys, or even a Crookes tube or a Geissler tube. Tynamo may also be based on a Skyfish, which would explain its Levitate Ability.
Name origin
Tynamo may be a combination of tiny or tyke (referring to its small size) and dynamo (referring to its Electric typing).
Shibishirasu may be a combination of 痺れ shibire (numbness) or しびれうなぎ shibireunagi (electric eel) and シラス shirasu (whitebait).
