*{{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 "-izer" item), 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 move when purified from Pokémon XD: {{m|Follow Me}}. | *{{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 "-izer" item), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games.

* Electabuzz is the only member of its family not to have some physical relation to an {{wp|AC power plugs and sockets|AC power unit}}. Elekid's head is shaped like a power plug while Electivire's back patterns look like a power socket. | * Electabuzz is the only member of its family not to have some physical relation to an {{wp|AC power plugs and sockets|AC power unit}}.

* It is possible to obtain an Electabuzz at levels 15-18 on route 10 in generations I and IV. this is seemingly impossible since Electabuzz evolves from Elekid at level 30. This also means that an Electivire can be obtained as low as level 16 | |||

Electabuzz was 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|leopard}}. | Electabuzz was 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.
