Trivia
- Despite the official English translation of the games normally using American English spelling, the word "vice" in Vice Grip is rendered with the Commonwealth English spelling instead, which is rendered in American English as "vise"[1] since it's referring to the mechanical tool.
- This move's Japanese name is also used as the English name of another move.
