Not sure if because it's already existing trivia it can be edited or not, but just some redundancy I noticed that goes for the origin trivia of this entire line. It says "Eelektross and its evolutionary relatives may be based on electric eels, lampreys, jawless fish and possibly leeches." Jawless fish redirects to ''Agnatha'', and lamprey fall under agnatha. It would make more sense to either remove lamprey and just say jawless fishes, or keep lamprey and change jawless fish to hagfish, as those are the only other extant species of jawless fish other than lamprey.[[User:GreatLiver|GreatLiver]] 03:21, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Name origin

Couldn't the "oss" part of its name come from gross (big)? It seems more plausible than boss. There's nothing boss-like about it, other than it being a final evolution. --SpeedSuicune 15:37, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

A bit of trivia to add

Elecktross is the first chronologically-numbered Pokémon since Jolteon (four generations earlier) to evolve from a Thunderstone.

I've never really understood those "first...since" trivia points. IMO, it should be absolute first or nothing. --SnorlaxMonster 14:22, 15 September 2011 (UTC)
There's already trivia on Eelektrik's page that makes the point well enough; it's the only Pokémon to use a Thunderstone that wasn't introduced in Generation I. - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talkcontribs) 16:20, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Origin Redundancy

Not sure if because it's already existing trivia it can be edited or not, but just some redundancy I noticed that goes for the origin trivia of this entire line. It says "Eelektross and its evolutionary relatives may be based on electric eels, lampreys, jawless fish and possibly leeches." Jawless fish redirects to Agnatha, and lamprey fall under agnatha. It would make more sense to either remove lamprey and just say jawless fishes, or keep lamprey and change jawless fish to hagfish, as those are the only other extant species of jawless fish other than lamprey.GreatLiver 03:21, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
