Trivia

Gardevoir using Fairy Wind

• Fairy Wind is one of the few moves to be adjusted in-between Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX. In Super Mystery Dungeon, it has a one-tile radius, but in Rescue Team DX, it has a two-tile radius.
• Prior to the release of Pokémon X and Y, a trailer at E3 2013 showed Gardevoir using Fairy Wind. However, Gardevoir cannot learn Fairy Wind in the final release of the game.
