Trivia

  • No other Pokémon have the same Egg Group combination as Ferroseed and its evolved form.
  • Ferroseed has the lowest base Speed stat of all Grass-type and Steel-type Pokémon.
    • It also has the lowest base Special Attack of any Grass-type Pokémon.
  • From Generation VI onward, Ferroseed's Hidden Ability is same as its first Ability, Iron Barbs, unlike its evolution which has a different Hidden Ability, Anticipation. A Ferroseed with Iron Barbs as its Hidden Ability can be bred to produce more Ferroseed with Iron Barbs as their Hidden Ability.

Origin

Ferroseed may be based on cockleburs, durians, or conkers, seeds from horse-chestnut trees or datura, all of which are known for their tough skin and thorns. It may also be based on a mace or flail.

Name origin

Ferroseed may be a combination of ferr- (a stem meaning iron in several languages including Latin) and seed.

Tesseed may be a combination of 鉄 tetsu (iron) and seed.
