The picture used in this section is unsatisfactory. Please feel free to replace it so it conforms to Bulbapedia conventions. Reason: Generation IV pic is too stretched, blurry, and should be animated. |
Trivia
- In Generation I, if the player saves and exits the game standing on a previously cut tree, once the game is continued, the player will be standing on the tree that was previously cut.
- Despite still having its HM status during Generation III, Cut is never required to complete Ruby and Sapphire.
- Cut is the first HM move to be used in the anime.
