In [[Pokémon Masters Arena]], one of the questions in the [[Pokémon Trivia Challenge]] is about which Pokémon attacked Professor Birch. The correct answer accepted by the game is {{p|Poochyena}}, because it was released prior to {{game|Emerald}}, where {{p|Zigzagoon}} attacks him. Zigzagoon is coincidentally listed as one of the answers as well, but it is considered an incorrect answer by the game. | |||
