Trivia

• The ability Iron Fist (which boosts the power of punching moves by 20%) affects Meteor Mash. This is because the Japanese name of Meteor Mash is Comet Punch (which was already taken by a Generation I move).
  • Despite this, no Pokémon with Iron Fist as an ability can learn Meteor Mash. However, many Pokémon can still use this combination legally by using an ability-copying technique such as Skill Swap or Trace and using the move either naturally, or through moves such as Metronome or Mimic.
