Trivia
- Despite having its power boosted by Iron Fist, Meteor Mash cannot be learned by any Pokémon who can naturally have this ability.
- However, Hitmonchan can be taught Metronome and Mimic in Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald and occasionally use Meteor Mash with it.
- Sucker Punch is not boosted by Iron Fist, since it is originally ふいうち (Surprise Attack) in Japanese.
- Similarly, Meteor Mash is boosted because it is known as コメットパンチ (Comet Punch) in Japanese, while Comet Punch is called れんぞくパンチ (Consecutive Punch).
