*{{p|Magmar}} and Electabuzz seem to be counterparts; both evolve in a very similar way (first at level 30, then after being traded holding an item which has a name that ends with the suffix "-izer"), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games. They also learn all their moves at the same levels, such as Fire Punch and ThunderPunch at Level 28. They even have the same special moves when purified from Pokémon XD: {{m|Follow Me}} and {{m|Cross Chop}}. Their pre-evolutions and evolutions were released in the same generation (Generation II and IV). Additionally, their Japanese names are essentially phonetic reversals of each other. | *{{p|Magmar}} and Electabuzz seem to be counterparts; both evolve in a very similar way (first at level 30, then after being traded holding an item which has a name that ends with the suffix "-izer"), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games.

Electabuzz is likely based on one of the Japanese {{wp|oni (Japanese folklore)|oni}} who was a horned ogre who wore tiger-stripes and was sometimes depicted as a god of lightning and thunder. Its tail looks like that of a {{wp|tiger}}. | Electabuzz is likely based on one of the Japanese {{wp|oni (Japanese folklore)|oni}} who was a horned ogre who wore tiger-stripes and was sometimes depicted as a god of lightning and thunder.
