* UselessUsefulSpell:
** Attract. While it would be hilarious or amazing to see this silly snowflake infatuate other genderless Pokémon (namely Legendaries), Attract does not work if the ''user'' is genderless itself.
** In addition, its Levitate ability prevents Ground-type attacks from hitting it even though it isn't weak to it...unless its [[VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet Tera type]] is Rock, Steel, or Poison.

* UselessUsefulSpell: Attract. While it would be hilarious or amazing to see this silly snowflake infatuate other genderless Pokémon (namely Legendaries), Attract does not work if the ''user'' is genderless itself.

* AdorableFluffyTail: It has a fluffy, grey tail with a white tip at the end. Its Pokemon White Pokedex entry states the following:

* PoseOfSupplication: Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave has it perform one to [[ISurrenderSuckers make the opponent lower their guard]], before stabbing them with the huge blade on their head.

* BoringButPractical: Gothitelle is nothing spectacular offensively, doesn't have a diverse offensive movepool, and its stats aren't the highest in the world, but its powerful abilities and wide array of support moves make it a very capable fighter.

* {{Foil}}: The ''Black'' version counterpart to the Solosis line.

* {{Seers}}: Gothitelle can see the future through the movement of the stars. [[TearJerker When it learns its trainer's lifespan, it cries]].

* MightyGlacier: Reuniclus has great Special Attack and HP, but ''horrible'' speed. It's still very powerful thanks to its combination of bulk and offensive muscle, however, and its excellent selection of Abilities doesn't hurt either. Teaching it Trick Room will give it 5 turns where it can move ahead of normally faster opponents and buffer its one shortcoming. Alternatively, it can use Calm Mind to make itself even more of a {{Mighty Glacier}} by boosting both of its special stats, allowing it to hit even harder and tank hits even better.

* MagicKnight: While primarily a special attacker as Heatmor has a good base 105 Special Attack, it also has a decent base 95 Attack.

* GuideDangIt: Out of the new cross-gen evolutions introduced in the Gen IX games, Kingambit's evolution requirements can be quite tedious and troublesome to perform as leader Bisharps leading packs of Pawniards are quite rare spawns at times, even with the ''Teal Mask'' DLC making Kingambit available in the wild (so that players don't have to farm for said leader Bisharps), it's still a rare encounter (in fact a far rarer encounter than said leader Bisharps), which also failed to fix the spawn rates for said leader Bisharps. However once the requirements are met, you have a powerful Dark/Steel leader who can easily avenge your team with Supreme Overlord.

* LateCharacterSyndrome: Often times. Pawniard are found in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' between the seventh and eighth Gyms in the low 30s. It won't evolve into Bisharp until level 52 — for point of reference, that's two levels lower than the FinalBoss's strongest Pokémon. ''VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndUltraMoon'' are a lot kinder; though rare, you can find fully-evolved Bisharp on Route 17, and it can be taught Iron Head via Move Tutor long before it naturally learns it. And in ''X and Y'' and ''Sword and Shield'', it's completely averted, as they can be found in mid-game locations and both games have higher level curves. DownPlayed slightly with Gen IX, as they are found a little earlier in the game, though they can't evolve into Kingambit until they reach the Fury Falls where leader Bisharps leading packs of Pawniards become available, which is a bit later in the game.

** A Bisharp can only become a Kingambit by proving itself stronger than all competitors in a colony. In-game, Bisharp evolves upon defeating three other Leader's Crest bearing Bisharp leading packs of Pawniard.

* ConfusionFu: After the Pokémon ''[=BW2=]'' Move Tutors, Eelektross now can access offensive moves from '''14''' out of the existing 18 types.

* PowerFloats: Its ability Levitate makes it have no weaknesses, unless an attack is coming from a Mold Breaker, or if its 'airborne' status is removed (such as by Gravity or Smack Down). Despite this, in Generation V it clearly lands on the ground when it is sent out, like Gengar, but as of Generation VI its in-battle model clearly shows it floating.

* ShownTheirWork: The line being partially based on electric eels may be the reason that they are pure Electric-types rather than Water-types; a little known fact about electric eels is that they're actually ''obligate air-breathers'', as in they ''need'' to breathe air.

* FlyingSeafoodSpecial: It's found in a cave. Not the water inside a cave, but the cave itself, and they happen to have Levitate as their sole Ability. Elesa's Tynamo is one of the few fish Pokémon shown floating in the anime. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] as of ''Scarlet and Violet'' where wild Tynamo and Eelektrik can only be found ''swimming'' in the oceans of Paldea, suggesting their inhabitance of Chargestone Cave despite its complete lack of water is due to its unique magnetic fields. Also subverted for Eelektross, despite also possessing the ability to float like its pre-evolved forms, its rare appearances in the wild are found exclusively on land where it can make more use of its new "legs," although a Tera Eelektross can be found floating above a sandbar in ''Scarlet and Violet''.

* ShownTheirWork: They are able to learn several water moves, including Dive. Makes sense, knowing that the scientific name of polar bears is ''Ursus maritimus'' and they are fantastic swimmers.

* BlowYouAway: It doesn't learn many flying moves apart from Acrobatics, but it does get Air Slash as an Egg move.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite the Black entry saying that Escavalier can fly around in high speeds, It has a pathetic speed stat of 20.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Despite the Black entry saying that Escavalier can "fly around in high speeds,"It has a pathetic speed stat of 20.

* MagicallyIneptFighter: Unovan Braviary has a great base 123 Attack, but a poor base 53 Special Attack. Inverted with Hisuian Braviary, who has base 123 Special Attack.

* LateCharacterSyndrome: Braviary is a strong Pokémon, [[MagikarpPower but you're not getting one without a lot of coddling]]. This is very prominent in Gen VII, where it appears as early as Route 3 in ''Sun'' and ''Ultra Sun'', but won't evolve until around the time you take on the Pokémon League, and by that point you can just as easily have a fully-evolved Metagross, Salamence, or Kommo-o.
* MagicallyIneptFighter: Unovan Braviary has a great base 123 Attack, but a poor base 53 Special Attack. Hisuian Braviary inverts the trope by having base 123 ''Special'' Attack.
* MagikarpPower: In ''Pokémon Sun and Ultra Sun'', Rufflet can be found in Melemele Island, as early as level 11. That's '''43''' levels before it can evolve, and its initially respectable stats quickly become lackluster given its inability to evolve at the time almost all other Pokémon can, becoming slow, frail and unable to deal good damage. After enough pampering and reaching level 54, it evolves and can finally hold its own again as Braviary, but by that point you are about to challenge the Elite Four, meaning there is not much left to do for it.

* {{Irony}}: To a comical degree. Kingambit’s Pokédex entry reveals it prefers to win through sheer brute force over strategy. Not what you’d normally expect from a Pokémon who’s A) an acting general leading a small army. And B) named after the king in Chess and designed after a shogun.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: Volcarona is 5'3" feet; its size in comparison still doesn't stop it from being able to replace ''the Sun''.

* ActionInitiative: They're able to learn Aqua Jet starting from ''Sun & Moon''.

* BlowYouAway: Notably, it's a prominent user of the move Hurricane, since the attack gains perfect accuracy in the rain, which Swanna can take additional advantage of with its STAB Water attacks and its [[HealingFactor Hydration]] ability. The only Pokémon that can boast similar credentials is Pelipper, which Swanna has a significant speed advantage over.

* GlassCannon: High offenses and speed, but horrible defenses.

* MakingASplash: They're Water-type water fowl.
