However, in Generation V, Beedrill lost this status, due to {{p|Escavalier}} also being able to learn it via level-up. This status now belongs to {{p|Meowth}} (with {{m|Pay Day}})
* Although Beedrill clearly flies, it is not part {{type|Flying}} nor does it have the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}. It shares this trait with {{p|Venomoth}}, {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Dustox}}, {{p|Volbeat}}, {{p|Illumise}} and {{p|Volcarona}}.
* In Generation II, its signature move {{m|Twineedle}} was the only way to poison {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. However, this was only possible because it was not a {{type|Poison}} attack. This bug was fixed in later generations.

* While Beedrill cannot learn {{m|Iron Defense}} itself, it can be taught as a {{p|Kakuna}} before [[evolution|evolving]] it. This trait is shared with {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Dustox}}, {{p|Beautifly}}, {{p|Huntail}}, {{p|Gorebyss}}, and {{p|Salamence}}.
* In ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', when {{jo|Marina}}'s {{p|Jigglypuff}} uses {{m|Sing}}, it has no effect on Beedrill. Jimmy states that its wings beat so fast that they block all sound waves before they reach its ears. Despite this statement, Beedrill cannot have the Ability {{a|Soundproof}}.
