Trivia
- In Generation II, Bill's grandfather asks the player to bring him a round, green Pokémon that has leaves growing on its head, which is obviously Oddish. However, in those games, and in subsequent generations, Oddish's body (unless it is Template:Shiny2) is blue.
- Oddish is the only Pokémon so far to be revealed to have a scientific name: Oddium Wanderus.
- In Pokémon Platinum, Oddish is the one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Dex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. Muk, Meowth, Hitmonlee, Ninetales, Primeape, and Registeel are the others.
Origin
Oddish is most likely based on a mandrake.
Name origin
Oddish's name is a combination of the words odd and the vegetable known as radish, although oddish is a word in itself, meaning somewhat odd. Nazonokusa may be taken to mean 謎の草, enigmatic grass.
In other languages
- German: Myrapla - Probably from mysteriös (mysterious) and plant.
- French: Mystherbe - From mystère (mystery) and herbe (herb). The whole word sounds very similar to just mystère.
- Korean: 뚜벅쵸 Ttubakchyo
- Chinese (Taiwan): 走路草 (Zou Lu Cao) - "Walking grass".
- Chinese (Hong Kong): 行路草 (Xing Lu Cao) - "Walking grass" in Cantonese.
