Trivia

• Wide Slash is one of the only two moves exclusive to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, the other being Vacuum-Cut. However, this excludes Excavate and Spin Slash, both of which were taken out of the game late in development, although their TMs can be obtained through cheating devices.
• Several Pokémon that cannot learn TMs in the core series can learn Wide Slash, but not all of them.
