Trivia[]
- The Japanese title of the fourth episode of Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl, Pochama VS Subomie! Hikari's First Battle!! (lit. Piplup VS Budew! Dawn's First Battle!!, Dawn of a New Era! in English), caused confusion upon release since Budew had not yet been revealed to the public.
- Budew is the only one of its evolutionary line whose English name differs from its Japanese name.
- Budew and Roserade are the only Pokémon to be adjacent in the National Pokédex order and yet have an evolutionary stage in between them.
- Budew is tied with Foongus and Shroodle for the shortest Poison-type Pokémon.
