Trivia

• Quiver Dance, along with Coil and Shell Smash, are the only moves that raise three stats at once (excluding AncientPower and its variations).
• Lilligant is the only Pokémon that can learn this move that is not based on a butterfly or moth, or is part Template:Type2. It also learns the move at the lowest level among all Pokémon that learn it.
