Trivia
- In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, when pluralized or prefixed with the indefinite article, this item's name is rendered with a lowercase 'g' ("Up-grades" and "an Up-grade", respectively). In Pokémon Platinum and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, both of these instances are corrected to display with a capital 'G' ("Up-Grades" and "an Up-Grade", respectively), matching how the item's name would normally be rendered.
