Trivia
- Interestingly, despite Hitmonchan being the only Pokémon able to have this ability, Dizzy Punch, a move that Hitmonchan cannot legally have in Generation IV, receives the bonus. Hitmonchan was, however, able to have the move if it was known by it as a Tyrogue hatched from the Odd Egg in Pokémon Crystal.
- Sucker Punch is not boosted by Iron Fist, since it is originally "Ambush" in Japanese.
