Trivia
- Milktank has the highest base Defense of all non-legendary Pokémons at 105.
- Miltank's Silver and FireRed Pokédex entries imply that Miltank gives live birth like real-world mammals, despite Pokémon Eggs being introduced in the same generation as the former. This may be the reason why the entry was altered in SoulSilver.
- Base on Miltank's script when it levels up in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, the nutritiousness of its milk would increase. Despite that, the potency of Milk Drink remains the same in and outside of battle.
Etymology
Miltank's name is the portmanteau of both "milk" and "tank". Tha "tank" part also greatly alludes to it having a very tank-like Defense stat.
