Kinesis can be used as part of a Pokémon Contest combination, with the user gaining extra three appeal points if either the move Confusion or Psychic was used in the prior turn. It can also be used to start a combination, causing certain moves (Confusion, Future Sight, Psychic and Teleport) to have their base appeal points doubled.
Generation IV onwards
Kinesis can now be reflected with Magic Coat.
If powered up by a Psychium Z into Z-Kinesis, the user's evasion raises one stage.

Trivia
- This move is a reference to the psychokinetic spoon bending tricks popularized by stage psychic Uri Geller.
- Along with Barrage and Struggle, Kinesis is one of three moves introduced in Generation I that have not been featured in the main anime series. In the case of Kinesis, this may be due to legal issues between Nintendo and Geller.
- This may also be why Kinesis is one of the two Generation I moves never seen in the Pokémon Adventures manga (the other being Struggle).
- In Pokémon Red and Blue, no Pokémon could learn Kinesis; it only appeared as a random result of Metronome. From Pokémon Yellow onward, Kadabra has it as a starting move, such that wild Kadabra know Kinesis in Pokémon Yellow and the Generation II games. Kadabra and Alakazam can also be taught Kinesis using the Move Reminder in Pokémon Stadium 2.
