Trivia
- In Pokémon Emerald, Flash is used to open the Ancient Tomb, the area in which Registeel resides. Flash is also used on the second floor of Abyssal Ruins to proceed to the next floor.
- Flash is the only move of the five original HM moves to lose its HM status. Even as an HM, Flash was never required to advance gameplay, as darkened caves are still navigable without the move.
- As Flash is not completely required, it is similar to Defog, which replaced it in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. The most notable difference is that although both foggy areas and dark caves can be more difficult to navigate, a dark area has no effect on the battles that take place there, whilst fog reduces the accuracy of all battlers.
- When using Flash in dark caves in only Generation I, Generation II, Pokémon FireRed, and Pokémon LeafGreen, it will light up the entire area the player can see.
- Volbeat is the only Pokémon capable of learning Flash naturally.
