Tynamo move in schools. When in danger, they discharge electricity.

|b2w2dex=One alone can emit only a trickle of electricity, so a group of them gathers to unleash a powerful electric shock.

* Tynamo and its {{p|Eelektrik|evolutionary}} {{p|Eelektross|relatives}} are the only Pokémon, aside from {{2t|Ghost|Dark}} types, to have no weaknesses in battle, due to their Ability {{a|Levitate}} eliminating the {{type|Electric}}'s weakness to {{t|Ground}}.

** They are also the only single-type Pokémon with no weaknesses, and the only ones with evolutionary relatives.

** Unlike {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, they cannot be made [[Wondereye|invincible]] if given {{a|Wonder Guard}}, as it replaces {{a|Levitate}}, thus making them weak to {{type|Ground}} attacks.

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.
