Trivia

  • Up until Generation V, this was the only move that can cause sleep in which the probability of sleep is less than 100% if the move is successful. In Generation V, Relic Song shares this capability.
  • As of Generation V, only one Pokémon, Audino, can learn this move through leveling up.
  • This is the only move that can have a chance of freezing higher than 10%.
  • Despite what its various animations may imply, Secret Power will always be Normal-type.
  • Secret Power is one of the two non-Ice-type move that can freeze the target. Also, both of these moves are Normal-type.
