Trivia

• The ability Iron Fist powers up this move, however, the only Pokémon which can legally have it, Hitmonchan, has not been able to have Dizzy Punch legitimately since Generation II. However, Hitmonchan can use the move legitimately if it is called by Metronome, which Hitmonchan can learn by move tutor in Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald.
