Trivia

The globe in Battle Revolution's animation.

• In the anime, while using Seismic Toss, Pokémon using the move are commonly depicted circling the globe, and, in the Generation II, Pokemon Battle Revolution and VI games, a globe is shown as part of the animation. This is due to the Japanese name of the move being Earth Throw.
• In the first few seasons of the Dutch dub, Seismic Toss was called aardbeving, which is actually Dutch for Earthquake.
  • Similarly, in the Rival Destinies season of Latin America dub, Seismic Toss was called Tiro Vital, which is actually the Spanish name for Vital Throw.
• Seismic Toss is the only physical move that does a set amount of damage.
