==Trivia==<br />
* Relicanth is one of the essential two Pokémon to unlock the caves of the [[Legendary golems|Regis]]; the other is {{p|Wailord}}.<br />
* Relicanth, along with {{p|Zigzagoon}}, are the two Pokémon left out of the [[Hoenn Pokérap]].<br />
* Relicanth shares its types with four of the five original [[fossil]] Pokémon, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, and {{p|Omastar}}, furthering its link to them as a living fossil. It also shares its type with {{p|Corsola}}. <br />
* Relicanth is the only {{type2|Water}} to learn {{M|Head Smash}}, as well as the only one to ''not'' receive recoil damage from it, due to {{a|Rock Head|its ability}}.<br />
** In fact, its one of three Pokémon that gains [[same-type attack bonus|STAB]] ''and'' protection from a recoil-damage-giving move. The other two are {{p|Clefable}} with {{a|Magic Guard}} and the {{p|Aron}} family with {{a|Rock Head}} (as of HG/SS).<br />
* Relicanth is one of only three Pokémon with its gender ratio that has been able to be caught from the wild in every generation since its introduction, alongside {{p|Munchlax}}/{{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Combee}}, and one of only five to ever be catchable in the wild ({{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Togepi}} can be caught in [[Generation IV]]).<br />
* Relicanth can be either one of two colors; its regular form is brown, while its shiny form is blue. Its real-life counterpart, the {{wp|coelacanth}}, can be either of these colors, as well.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Relicanth are based on the modern ''Latimeria chalumnae'', a {{wp|coelacanth}} species that was thought to be extinct. They are considered {{wp|living fossils}}, because they are virtually unchanged from their prehistoric forms. Like in real life, Relicanth was thought to be extinct 100 million years ago, until it was recently rediscovered in a submarine exploration.<br />
<br />
====Name Origin====<br />
Relicanth's name seems to be a combination of ''relic'', meaning "something old that has survived the passage of time," and {{wp|coelacanth}}.<br />
<br />
''Glanth'' is based on 爺 ''jī'', old man, and ''coelacanth''.<br />
<br />

:And it was even used in one of anime episodes, that was called '''Relicanth really can't!''' (or similar). And what is strange in it? Most of the names are playing on the words. --[[User:Ade Tyshio|Ade Tyshio]] 12:08, 12 October 2007 (UTC)<br />

==Gender?==<br />
Is the gender right on this thing? I've caught 15 Relicanths today and only 1 is male.

:Percentages can be wrong. The gender of a Pokémon is random, regardless of the male:female ratio. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:21, 29 September 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Eye's ==<br />
<br />
Wait a second the article says that the red things are markings instead of eyes<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
so basically that the line closest to it's mouth are it's eyes (and closed like brocks) which make it look older?<br />
<br />
is there any confirmation if it's true? ([[User:Ataro|Hg/Ss come out already!]] 03:03, 7 March 2010 (UTC))<br />
<br />
== Pokédex Entry ==<br />
<br />
This question isn't necessarily just for this page, but, how would I go about adding the English Pokédex entry? I've seen a few where the alt text is in English but I don't know if that's what's wanted for every page. [[User:Clover|Clover]] 11:15, 30 March 2010 (UTC)</div>Clover
