* The Japanese name for this move is in reference to the psychokinetic spoon bending tricks popularized by stage psychic Uri Geller. The English name is simply the "-kinesis" suffix from the Greek for "motion" from related words such as psychokinesis and telekinesis.

* Until {{game|Yellow}}, it was impossible to learn Kinesis, as it only appeared as a random {{m|Metronome}} move prior.

* Kinesis is one of four moves originating from Generation I that have not been used in the anime (the others being {{m|Barrage}}, {{m|Leech Life}} and {{m|Struggle}}).
