== 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. --[[User:SpeedSuicune|SpeedSuicune]] 15:37, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

== A bit of trivia to add ==

Elecktross is the first chronologically-numbered Pokémon since {{p|Jolteon}} (four [[generation|generations]] earlier) to evolve from a --[[User:Eelektrified|Eelektrified]] ([[User talk:Eelektrified|talk]]) 17:13, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[[Thunderstone]].<br />

:I've never really understood those "first...since" trivia points. IMO, it should be absolute first or nothing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 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.  <small>- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno.

== 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.[[User:GreatLiver|GreatLiver]] 03:21, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
:Note the wording is to not ''add'' trivia. If you see something like that you're free to correct it. We just want people to focus on editing other, more important things. Correcting stuff is right at the top of the priority tree. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 05:53, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
