==Trivia==
* Relic Song is the only move that deals damage and can put the target to {{status|sleep}}, regardless of battle location.
* Although Meloetta did not appear in said episodes, it singing the Relic Song was used as background music during ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'' and ''[[SM007|That's Why the Litten is a Scamp!]]''.
** {{m|Secret Power}} can also do damage and put the opponent to sleep, but only when used in {{DL|Tall grass|long grass}}{{sup/3|RSE}} or [[tall grass]]{{sup/4|DPPtHGSS}}{{sup/5|BWB2W2}}.
** A remastering of the song that appeared in ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]'' has also been featured throughout ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.
* If Meloetta forgets the move, the player can return to the {{DL|Castelia City|Café Sonata}} {{tc|Musician}} to re-learn it. This will also repeat the cutscene.
