Trivia
- Up until Generation IV, it was possible to use Cut on tall grass and long grass. This ability was removed in Diamond and Pearl.
- In Generation I, if the player saves and exits the game standing on a previously cut tree, once the game is continued, the player will be standing on the tree that was previously cut.
- Despite still having its HM status during Generation III, Cut is never required to complete Ruby and Sapphire.
- Cut is the first HM move to be used in the anime.
