** Oddish's alias name is アルキメンデス ''Arukimendesu'', as stated in the Japanese versions of FireRed as well as its {{2v2|Red|Green}} Pokédex entries. This can either be seen as a corruption of ''{{wp|Archimedes}}'', the Greek mathematician, or as a direct reference to a popular Japanese instant noodles brand ''{{jwp|アルキメンデス|Archimendes}}'' that literally means ''instant noodles on the go''. The latter may reference Oddish's appearance when walking.

* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Oddish is programmed to be able to learn {{m|Charm}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no other Pokémon in the {{egg2|Grass}} can legitimately learn it to pass down as an [[Egg Move]] in those games. In [[Generation III]] and {{Gen|IV}}, Oddish can inherit the move from {{p|Shroomish}} by chain breeding. In Generation V on, Oddish can inherit the move directly from {{p|Cottonee}}.
