It has been discovered that the calming effect of Sylcanth's ribbons is most potent regarding prehistoric Pokémon. Parks specializing in those Pokémon have begun including Sylcanth to reduce the risk of rampages and escapes.
Because Sylcanth's feelers are just as dexterous as hands, this Pokémon is difficult to keep in an aquarium. Aquarium workers frequently have to deal with machinery that has been pried apart by its feelers or bashed to pieces by its rock-hard head.
