Special abilities
If any part of a Gastrodon's boneless body is ever ripped or torn off, it can grow back in very little time.

Trivia
- According to an interview in Nintendo Power with Ken Sugimori, Shellos and Gastrodon were originally designed for Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, but were not implemented in the final design.
- Both Shellos and Gastrodon have a beta back sprite in the data. However, there are no front sprites for these forms, and neither Shellos nor Gastrodon can be captured with this form.
- No in-game trainer uses the East species in battle, even if the trainer's current location is east of Mt. Coronet, where only the blue species could be caught.
Origin
Gastrodon is based on a sea slug.
Name Origin
Gastrodon's name is derived from "gastropod", the zoological category slugs and snails belong to, and "don", a Spanish honorific meaning leader or king, or in other words, king of snails and slugs.
The name Toritodon is derived from Tritoniidae. It may also come from the fact that eastern Gastrodon look like cows or oxen. The word Torito is Spanish for "little bull". Its name might mean "royal ox snail", referring to its strength. Its French name, Tritosor, comes from triton.
