* These moves are often combined with {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} to ensure they hit. {{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}}.
* {{p|Lapras}} can learn the most one-hit KO moves of any Pokémon (excluding Smeargle), being able to learn {{m|Sheer Cold}}, {{m|Fissure}}, and {{m|Horn Drill}}.
* {{p|Lapras}} can learn the most one-hit KO moves of any Pokémon (excluding Smeargle), being able to learn {{m|Sheer Cold}}, {{m|Fissure}}, and {{m|Horn Drill}}.
* All one-hit KO moves are normally ineffective against a type of Pokémon. {{m|Fissure}} cannot affect {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, {{m|Guillotine}} and {{m|Horn Drill}} cannot affect {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, and {{m|Sheer Cold}} cannot affect {{type|Ice}} Pokémon (as of [[Generation VII]]). Of these, only Sheer Cold's ineffectiveness is not based on a type immunity, and thus cannot be bypassed (e.g. with a move like {{m|Gravity}} or {{m|Foresight}}). Sheer Cold is also the only one-hit KO move where this ineffectiveness did not exist until after its debut generation.
