Trivia

• In a Pokémon Contest, because there is no target Pokémon, Brick Break destroys a small glass wall instead.
• Contrary to popular belief, Brick Break does not need to be used by the hands. This is shown because it can be learned by Bonsly and Pupitar, who don't have any arms.
• The only three Pokémon that can learn Brick Break by level-up are of either the Bug or Template:Type2.
  • Of the three Pokémon, one is a Fighting-type, one is a Bug-type, and one is both.
