Trivia
- All Pokémon that learn Acid Armor by breeding are in the Amorphous Group.
- Despite its type and international names, Acid Armor is generally depicted as a Pokémon's ability to dissolve its own body structure, in accordance with its Japanese name, とける Tokeru, which can be translated to liquefy.
