==Trivia==
* Its Japanese name refers to striking someone with the blunt side of a sword.
* Due to the move's effect of always leaving the target with at least 1 HP, False Swipe is the only damage-dealing move capable of doing zero damage on a successful hit as well as the only damaging dealing move not capable of knocking an opposing Pokémon out due to its ineffectiveness when the defending Pokémon has 1HP left.
* False Swipe is most commonly used to catch wild Pokémon.
