*Despite having its power increased by Iron Fist, {{m|Meteor Mash}} cannot be learned by any Pokémon who can naturally have this Ability.

** However, many Pokémon can still use a combination with Iron Fist and Meteor Mash legally by using an Ability-copying technique such as {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{a|Trace}} and using the move either naturally, or through moves such as {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, and {{m|Sketch}}.  

* The power of {{m|Sucker Punch}} is not increased by Iron Fist, since it is originally ふいうち (Surprise Attack) in Japanese.

** Similarly, {{m|Meteor Mash}} is boosted because it is known as コメットパンチ ''Comet Punch'' in Japanese. This is not to be confused with the English {{m|Comet Punch}}, which is れんぞくパンチ ''Consecutive Punch'' in Japanese.
