Trivia

• Many Template:Type2 Pokémon can learn Heat Wave by Platinum move tutor, due to Heat Wave's Japanese name being Hot Wind.
• With the exception of Mew, Arceus with a Flame Plate, and Smeargle, Vibrava and Flygon are the only Pokémon who can learn this move by tutoring that are neither Flying- nor Fire-type.
