Trivia

  • Despite being a Normal-type move, Smeargle (through Sketch) is the only Normal-type Pokémon that can learn this move.
  • Although the sound-based moves are introduced in Generation III, SonicBoom is listed in move index number near other Generation I sound-based moves; Growl, Sing, Roar, and Supersonic.
  • For unknown reasons, the move's animation was changed between the Japanese and international versions of Generation II. Whereas the Japanese version depicted SonicBoom as a boomerang being thrown towards the target, the international versions instead depict the move as a tornado approaching and hitting the foe.
