Trivia
- The Japanese name of this move literally means "to paint a dragon and dot its eyes" and serves as a metaphor for finishing touches. The idiom originated from a legend where Zhang Sengyou, a Chinese painter, completes the dragons on the mural by dotting their eyes and thus literally bringing them to life. The completed dragons immediately ascended to the heavens after the work was done.
- Dragon Ascent is the only move with the word "dragon" in its English name that is not Dragon-type.
- A Pokémon knowing Dragon Ascent cannot be traded from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to Pokémon X and Y, and if a Pokémon in Pokémon Bank knows the move it cannot be withdrawn in Pokémon X and Y. In order to be transferred to Pokémon X and Y, the Pokémon must forget Dragon Ascent.
