Trivia
- Of all the times Hammer Arm was used in the anime, no Pokémon seemed to lose speed like its effect suggests.
- Despite Hammer Arm being a Fighting-type move introduced in Generation IV, no Fighting-type Pokémon could learn this move until Generation V.
- Additionally, the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn this move are introduced in Generation V.
