- Some plants are named in Pokédex entries. Notably, Bellsprout is rumored to be a type of legendary mandrake plant, Pineco is compared to a pinecone, and Natu picks food from cactus.
- Besides Grass-type Pokémon, Celesteela also appears to be based on a plant, specifically bamboo, although it is an extraterrestrial organism.
