Trivia
- The Japanese name for this move, ねこのて Neko no Te (Cat's Paw), is likely a reference to the saying 猫の手も借りたい neko no te mo karitai, which translates to "I would even like to borrow a cat's hands", "I would even like a cat to assist me", or "I need all the help I can get", befitting the way the move works, and the many catlike Pokémon capable of learning it.
