* The Bag sprite for the HM containing Defog is mistakenly that of a {{type|Water}} HM, rather than a {{type|Flying}} one.

** Coincidentally, it was replaced as an HM in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} by the Water-type move, {{m|Whirlpool}}.
* Like {{m|Flash}} was in Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, Defog is not critical to the completion of the game, as a player can traverse foggy areas without using the move. However, unlike with dark caves requiring Flash to light them, foggy areas affect battles within them.
* While it is not the first HM move to lose its status as one, Defog is the first HM move to lose its status before the end of a generation.
* Like {{m|Flash}} was in Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, Defog is not actually critical to the completion of the game, as a player can traverse foggy areas without using the move. However, unlike with dark caves requiring Flash to light them, foggy areas affect battles within them, making Defog's use somewhat more convenient.
* Before Defog's introduction, Ash would often use his [[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto's]] {{m|Gust}} and {{AP|Noctowl}}'s {{m|Whirlwind}} in a similar manner.

* If a player teaches a Pokémon Defog by HM in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and trades it to HeartGold or SoulSilver, the Pokémon can be freely imported to {{2v2|Black|White}} via the [[Poké Transfer]], due to Defog not being needed outside of battle in HeartGold and SoulSilver. The same can be done with {{m|Whirlpool}} by transferring a Pokémon that learned it by HM in HeartGold or SoulSilver to Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum.

* Only Pokémon introduced in Generation V can learn Defog by leveling up. All others need to have it bred onto them as an Egg move or be transferred forward from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} using the above-mentioned trick to have it.
