Trivia

• Revival Blessing is one of two moves (excluding Struggle) whose base PP is not a multiple of 5, the other being Sketch.
• The only Pokémon that can learn this move learn it after evolution, with the condition for their evolution being after leveling up while outside of their Poké Ball after walking 1000 steps using the Let's Go! feature.
• Revival Blessing is the first and currently the only game mechanic that can revive a fainted Pokémon during a battle without using the bag.
  • Consequently, this is the first game mechanic that can revive a Pokémon in standard link battles or Video Game Championships.
