* Constrict, along with {{m|Triple Kick}} and {{m|Magnitude}}, has the lowest base power of all damage-dealing moves.
* Constrict has the lowest consistent base power of all damage-dealing moves.
** In Triple Kick's case, however, this only applies to the first hit, as the following move gains 10 more base power with each successful hit.
** In Magnitude's case, this only applies to Magnitude 4. Other numbers have higher power.
