Trivia
- Due to the abundance of spiked thorns on Ferroseed's body, it can be difficult to pet it in the Pokémon-Amie. Touching these thorns will hurt the player character's hand.
- Starting in Generation VI, Ferroseed's model is completely still in battle unless attacking.
Origin
Ferroseed appears to be based on cockleburs, durians, or seeds from horse-chestnut trees or datura, all of which are known for their rough, durable skin and sharp thorns. Given its Steel typing, it may also be based on a mace.
Etymology
Ferroseed comes from ferrum (Latin for "iron") and seed.
Its Japanese name, Tesseed, may be a combination of 鉄 (tetsu, iron) and seed.
