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.
