Trivia
- Although centipedes have a hundred legs and walk on most of them most of the time, Scolipede seems to be quadrapedal.
- Scolipede may have been loosley based on Arthropluera, a prehistoric relative of centipedes and millipedes, that could grow to two and a half metres in length. This also ties in with Scolipede's length of 2.5m. However, Arthropluera lived in swamps, as opposed to Venipede and Whirlipede-Scolipede's pre-evolutions-living in forests.
- This Pokemon is November on the Pokemon Horoscope in Pokemon Black and White.
