At 16, Atomite has the lowest HP of all Pokémon in the Sage Pokédex.
At 20, Atomite is tied with Tuliep for having the lowest Attack stat in the Sage Pokédex.
The Atomite family were almost removed from the Pokédex because of time constraints and the length of their design process.
The final design for Atomite was originally made to go with a completely different Orbatom design.
Atomite is tied with Lintle as the smallest Pokémon in the Sage Pokédex.
The Atomite family's moveset starts with Atomite and Orbatom learning moves at levels 2, 6, 10, and 14. This is identical to the number of electrons in s, p, d, and f orbitals.
Design origin[]
Early concept art for Atomite.
Atomite is based on an atom, specifically a hydrogen atom, which has only one proton and one electron. The red hood-like shape on Atomite is similar to an electron shell, in that the electron moves around the proton so quickly that it technically can be considered to be in multiple places at once.
Name origin[]
Atomite's name is a combination of atom and mite. It also invokes -ite, a suffix applied to an atom's name when it becomes negatively charged.
