Trivia

• This move is a reference to the psychokinetic spoon bending tricks popularized by stage psychic Uri Geller.
• In Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue, it was impossible to learn Kinesis, as neither Kadabra nor Alakazam learn it by leveling up. It only appeared as a random Metronome move. Pokémon Yellow featured wild Kadabra that could be caught and later games featured Move Reminders that allowed Kadabra and Alakazam to learn the move.
• Along with Barrage, Leech Life, and Struggle, Kinesis is one of four moves originating from Generation I that has not been featured in the main series anime (Barrage was featured in Pokémon Origins).
