** {{m|Light Screen}} briefly blocked a {{m|Hyper Beam}} in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'' due to the attack appearing to be a special move.

* {{type|Psychic}} moves have persistently been shown to affect {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, even though Dark-type Pokémon are immune to the effects of damaging Psychic-type moves. This goes against what has occurred in the earlier anime episodes as ''[[EP171|Power Play!]]'' clearly demonstrates an {{p|Alakazam}}'s {{m|Psychic}} not working against [[Gary's Umbreon]]. | * {{type|Psychic}} moves have persistently been shown to affect {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, even though Dark-type Pokémon are immune to the effects of damaging Psychic-type moves.
