Trivia
- Its description states that it 'may' poison the target. The word choice is likely alluding to its 75% accuracy since, as a status move, it will always poison the target if the attack is successful.
- Although a Poison-type move, the only Poison-type Pokémon that can learn it are primarily Grass- and Bug-type.
