Trivia
- Not all floating Pokémon have this ability. For example, Mew, who floats in the air, does not have Levitate.
- 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.
