Trivia

  • In Pokémon Stadium 2, Bugsy erroneously refers to this move as "Megaphone" when his Heracross (present only in Round 2) uses it. This is possibly due to a translation error, as ホーン can mean horn or phone (as an alternate writing of フォーン) in Japanese. This is also why prior to Generation IX, the move was mistranslated as Megaphone in Korean versions.
  • Clodsire can learn Megahorn despite lack of visible horns. This, however, may be to reflect its Pokédex entry from Pokémon Scarlet, which states it retaliates by "sticking thick spines out from its body".
  • Megahorn has the highest base power of all Bug-type moves, excluding Z-Moves, Max Moves, and G-Max Moves.
    • A Savage Spin-Out based on Megahorn has the highest power of all Bug-type moves.
