* These moves are often combined with {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} to ensure it hits. {{p|Articuno}} can learn Mind Reader and {{m|Sheer Cold}}; in [[Generation II]], {{p|Poliwrath}} can have {{m|Fissure}} and Mind Reader if it is taught Fissure in a [[Generation I]] game and traded over; and {{p|Smeargle}} can have any combination of the two types of move using {{m|Sketch}}.

* In Generations I and II, all one-hit KO moves were normally ineffective against a type of Pokémon. {{m|Fissure}} could not affect {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, and {{m|Guillotine}} and {{m|Horn Drill}} could not affect {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon (barring moves like {{m|Foresight}}). {{m|Sheer Cold}} (introduced in Generation III) broke this pattern, as no type is immune to {{type|Ice}} attacks.
