==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Karate Chop deals damage and has an increased critical hit ratio (30% in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series). Contrary to its move description, Karate Chop erroneously did not have an increased critical hit ratio in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] series.
