Trivia

• Giovanni's Nidoking alongside Homer's Claydol and Hippowdon know Thunderbolt, Charge Beam, and Thunder Fang respectively, even though they will always fail against the player's Pokémon due to them being limited to using Ground types in this tournament, unless they use a move or Ability to change their type mid-battle or hold a Ring Target.
