Trivia
- Many non-Flying-type Pokémon that have been seen to be capable of floating or flying, such as Beedrill, cannot have this Ability.
- Shedinja also cannot have this Ability, but its Wonder Guard Ability gives it immunity to Ground-type moves. However, Shedinja is still affected by Arena Trap and vulnerable to Spikes and Toxic Spikes.
- Despite the fact that its Generation IV description says that it gives full immunity to all Template:Type2 moves, Pokémon with Levitate are affected by Sand-Attack.
- Even if a levitating Pokémon uses Dig, Levitate still makes Earthquake and Magnitude miss.
- Fan Rotom is the only Pokémon with this Ability to be naturally immune to Ground-type moves due to being Flying-type in Generation V and onward.
- Bronzong is the only Pokémon that can naturally have this Ability that also has a secondary Ability. In addition, it is the only one that has a Dream World Ability as well.
