Trivia

Sandy Cloak Wormadam using Leaf Storm in Black and White
- Prior to Generation VI, Leaf Storm was the only Grass-type Cute move.
- In Pokémon Black and White, School Kid Ann on Route 12 has a Sandy Cloak Wormadam that knows Leaf Storm, despite it being a move that Sandy Cloak Wormadam cannot learn by any means; it is instead learned by Plant Cloak Wormadam. Instead of Leaf Storm, the Sandy Cloak Wormadam should know Fissure.
