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.
  • They are also the only single-type Pokémon with no weaknesses, and the only ones with evolutionary relatives.
  • Unlike Sableye and Spiritomb, they cannot be made invincible if given Wonder Guard, as it replaces Levitate, thus making them weak to Ground-type attacks.
• 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.

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).
