Trivia

  • Despite what its name would imply, and it being more closely associated with Ghost types, Will-O-Wisp is a Fire-type move. This is presumably due to it inflicting a burn. A similar situation occurs with Poison Powder.
  • Will-O-Wisp is the only status move capable of inflicting a burn.
  • In all handheld games starting from Generation IV, and in Pokémon Battle Revolution, the animation shows the flames being purple, although the description says they are bluish white.
  • Even though Will-O-Wisp is a status move, its depiction in the anime is similar to that of a damage-dealing move, never causing any burns at all, in one instance being shown to equal Flamethrower in terms of power.
  • In the Latin American dub of the anime, this move was called Fogonazo in Gathering the Gang of Four!, which is the Spanish name for Seed Flare.
