Trivia
- Electabuzz and its pre-evolution Elekid share the same species as Zapdos, all being the Electric Pokémon.
- Electabuzz and Magmar can be seen as counterparts. Both are Pokémon from the first generation, both of their pre-evolved forms, Magby and Elekid, were introduced in Generation II, and both evolve into Magmar and Electabuzz at level 30. Their evolved forms, Magmortar and Electivire, were also introduced in Generation IV and evolve by holding an item that ends in -rizer and trading them.
- Jynx can be seen as a slight parallel to the two except it does not evolve into any other Pokémon.
