Trivia

• The ability Iron Fist powers up this move. However, the only Pokémon which can legally have it, Hitmonchan, has not been able to have Dizzy Punch legitimately since Generation II. While Hitmonchan can use the move legitimately if it is called by Metronome—available to it by move tutor in Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald—said move remains mutually exclusive with Iron Fist, as any Hitmonchan from Generation III is limited to his other ability.
• Ranculus is the only non-Normal-type Pokémon to learn Dizzy Punch via level-up.
