Trivia
- Tynamo and its evolutions are the only single-type Pokémon with no weaknesses.
- 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 type).
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).
