Trivia

• Revival Blessing is one of two moves (excluding Struggle) whose base PP is not a multiple of 5, the other being Sketch.
  • Additionally, both Sketch and Revival Blessing cannot have their maximum PP increased.
• The only Pokémon that can learn this move, Pawmot and Rabsca, learn it upon Evolution, with the condition for their Evolution being leveling up while outside of their Poké Ball after walking 1,000 steps using the Let's Go! feature. Not even Smeargle can learn this move, as Sketch fails to copy it.
• Revival Blessing is the only game mechanic that can revive a fainted Pokémon during a battle without using items from the Bag. Consequently, it is the only game mechanic that can revive a Pokémon in battles against other players in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
