In my LeafGreen Will-O-Wisp is considered a Ghost-type move. I assume that this means that it was considered Ghost-type in Generation III. I was curious as to whether or not there was a reason that this was not in the Trivia section. If it should be, should I add it or will someone else. I ask because I am new.

:Will-O-Wisp has never been a Ghost-type move. Some people seem to think it is because it is commonly learned by Ghost-type Pokémon, but the moves summary screen shows it as a Fire-type move. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</sc> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 00:44, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Just a nitpick on the translation of the move's Japanese name. I happen to know that ''onibi'' doesn't mean "Will-O-Wisp"; it actually translates to "devil fire". I have to wonder why "Will-O-Wisp" is there.

:Magmar was never seen using the move. Since it wasn't seen, it can't be added.  Also, don't forget to sign your posts by typing ing the four ~. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 00:54, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 
==Absol==
I just had a Sableye with Prankster use Will-O-Wisp on an Absol with Justified... and it had no affect. Absol is not a Fire-type, and was not holding any items that can weaken or immunize Will-O-Wisp, so I do not know how this was possible.

Heatran

Heatran is listed as a pure fire type in the TM listing, I would change it, but I don't know how. --[[User:Improv]] 12:43, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

I got it. Thanks for the heads up. =] SL-samacontribs 12:44, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Vulpix

Why was the part of "and the only non-Fire-type Pokemon to learn Will-o-wisp" in the trivia removed? That had to stay and it was true. - unsigned comment from Makupe (talkcontribs)
