 * Volo is 6'3" (190 cm) tall.<ref>Concept art from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.</ref>
-* If Giratina's two forms, battled one after the other, are counted as two Pokémon, Volo effectively uses eight Pokémon to battle the player.

+* Volo's claim that he is willing to even take centuries to locate and conquer Arceus, and his goal to subjugate Arceus in order to create a peaceful new world, is similar to [[Team Galactic]] and their ambitions.
