Trivia

• This move originated as an Ace Spec Item card in the TCG.
• Along with Body Press, Life Dew is one of the only Generation VIII moves to be usable in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
  • This makes the two moves currently the only moves introduced after Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon that can be Sketched, as Sketch is not in any other game released after Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
