Trivia

• Gust is one of the four moves to have its type changed in Generation II, the others being Karate Chop, Bite, and Sand-Attack. Coincidentally, they all were Template:Type2 moves in Generation I.
• Oddly enough, Nincada and Trapinch are able to learn Gust as an egg moves, despite not having visible wings. This is likely because their respective evolutions do have wings.
