Trivia

• Unusually, many Template:Type2 Pokémon can learn Heat Wave by Platinum move tutor, despite it being a Template:Type2 move. However, this may be because Heat Wave's Japanese name contains the word "wind".
• With the exception of Mew, Arceus and Smeargle, Vibrava and Flygon are the only Pokémon who can learn this move by tutoring that are not Flying- nor Fire-type.
