* Tynamo and its {{p|Eelektrik|evolutionary}} {{p|Eelektross|relatives}} are the only Pokémon, aside from {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} types, to have no weaknesses. However, this is due to their ability, {{a|Levitate}}, which eliminates their sole weakness to the {{t|Ground}} type, and not because of type matchups.

** They are also the only single-type Pokémon with no weaknesses.  

** However, they cannot be made invincible if given {{a|Wonder Guard}}, as it replaces {{a|Levitate}}, thus making them weak to {{type|Ground}} attacks.

** Also, they are the only weakness-free Pokémon that have evolutionary relatives.

* Despite being based on marine animals, and living in the ocean, Tynamo and its evolutionary relatives are not {{type|Water}}, cannot learn any Water-type moves other than {{m|Rain Dance}} and {{m|Aqua Tail}} (which can only be learned by its evolved forms), and are not found near water in the wild in the [[main series]] games.

* Because it can only learn Normal and Electric-type moves, the only way Tynamo can damage {{p|Golett}} or {{p|Golurk}} is through {{m|Struggle}}.

* It is the only Generation V Pokémon incapable of learning TMs.

** This means that despite learning {{m|Thunder Wave}} and {{m|Charge Beam}} by level, Tynamo is incompatible with both [[TM]]s that teach the moves.

* Tynamo's in-game cry sounds strikingly similar to {{p|Shinx}}'s, though only in a higher pitch.  

Tynamo and its evolutionary relatives may be based on {{wp|electric eels}}, {{wp|lamprey}}s, {{wp|jawless fish}} and possibly {{wp|leeches}} or {{wp|lancelet}}s. The fact that it is Electric-type may be an allusion to {{wp|bioelectrogenesis}}. It also resembles {{wp|leptocephalus}}, larval stage of the eel, or also a {{wp|knifefish}}. The waving yellow mark running along its body combined with the physical appearance overall makes certain resemblance to ''{{wp|Haikouichthys}}'', or even a {{wp|Crookes tube}} or a {{wp|Geissler tube}}. Tynamo may also be based on a {{wp|Skyfish}}, which would explain its Levitate ability.

Tynamo may be a combination of ''tiny'' or ''tyke'' (referring to its small size) and ''{{wp|dynamo}}'' (referring to its Electric typing).  

Shibishirasu may be a combination of 痺れ ''shibire'' (numbness) or しびれうなぎ ''shibireunagi'' (electric eel) and シラス ''shirasu'' ({{wp|whitebait}}).
