Fact #40

Did you know Tyrogue is the only Pokémon to evolve into three Pokémon and he is also the only Pokémon to evolve based on his stats at Level 20. 

Down below shows which Pokémon, Tyrogue will evolve into based on his stats when he reaches Level 20:

  • Hitmonlee if his Attack > Defense.
  • Hitmonchan if his Attack < Defense.
  • Hitmomtop if his Attack = Defense.




Fact #39

Did you know Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are the only Pokémon to be related after a new Generation was released.

Their baby Pokemon Tyrogue came out in Generation II before that Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan weren't related.

Fact #38

Did you know Shiny Pokémon will only appear 1/8192 of the time or hatched from a egg.

Yet, there's a easier method to increase your odds its called the "Masuda Method" named after Game Freak's Director Junichi Masuda, who programmed it in Diamond and Pearl.

This method only works if you trade someone outside your country by using the GTS.
A example is trading from USA to Japan. Then you breed the traded Pokémon with a Pokémon you want to breed.

The method will increases your chances by 5 or 6 depending on the Generation, you are playing.

In Generation IV (Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver) while doing the Masuda Method increases your chances by 5 or 5/8192 or about 1/1639.

In Generation V (Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2) increases your chances by 6 or 6/8192 or about 1/1366.

Also if one of the Pokémon is holding the item "Shiny Charm" it increases even more by 8 or 8/8192 or about 1/1024.

Bonus Fact:
  • Ash is the only main character to ever catch a Shiny Pokémon. (Noctowl)
