  • Mew, though repeatedly said on the Pokédex to be able to learn any move, is not able to learn Blast Burn because the tutors only want to teach it to Fire-type starter Pokémon.
  • Blast Burn is the only variant of Hyper Beam not to be used in the anime.
  • In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, the Pokémon's IQ must be over 3-3.5 to learn Blast Burn at Level 72.
  • Despite being called Blast Burn in numerous languages, it cannot inflict the Burn status ailment at all.
