 * Ice Ball can reach the highest base power of all moves, tied with its variation, {{m|Rollout}}; if the attacking Pokémon has used {{m|Defense Curl}} and Ice Ball hits for a fifth consecutive time, its base power will reach 960.
 * A [[level]] 100 {{p|Shuckle}} can potentially deal the most (virtual) damage in one single attack with Ice Ball.
-* Though in the games, Ice Ball makes contact, the anime portrays the move as a projectile that does not involve the user and target making physical contact.  A similar situation occurs with {{m|Petal Dance}} and {{m|Grass Knot}}, both of which have anime depictions that contradict the fact that they make contact in the games.
-** Conversely, the opposite is true for {{m|Sky Attack}}, which does ''not'' make contact in the games, but does so in the anime.
-** Ice Ball's anime depiction of a spherical projectile is more consistent with Ice Ball's designation as a {{cat|ball and bomb moves|ball move}} than its description in the games, which describes it as a rolling tackle in which the user coats itself with ice.
