Trivia

• Druddigon can learn this move, which is known as へびにらみ Hebinimari (Snake Glare) in Japanese, despite not being based on a snake.
• Despite the descriptions of the move in FireRed and LeafGreen, Generation IV, and Generation V stating "The user intimidates the target with the pattern on its belly", the anime portrays Glare as a literal glare at the opponent - the version Pokémon Stadium series' descriptions suggest.
