Trivia

• Generation IV is the only generation to not introduce a new Pokémon that can learn Glare. Ekans and Arbok were introduced in Generation I, Dunsparce was introduced in Generation II, Seviper was introduced in Generation III and Snivy and Druddigon were introduced in Generation V.
• Druddigon is the only Pokémon aside from Smeargle that can learn Glare that is not based on a snake, despite the Japanese name of the move being Snake Glare.
• All the Pokémon that can have Glare are in the Field or in the Dragon Egg Group.
• Despite the description of the move in Pokémon Black and White saying "The user intimidates the target with the pattern on its belly", the anime portrays Glare as a literal glare at the opponent. Stadium series, however, describe it as it is in anime.
  • In fact, apart from Arbok, all Pokémon that can learn this move do not have patterns on their bellies.
