* In Getting the Drop on Gallade I, a used in the Battle Castle was revealed to know Secret Power, but it was never seen using the move.

==In other generations==
==Trivia==
* Secret Power is the only:
** move that can have a chance of higher than 10%, excluding in the Japanese Generation I handheld games.
** move capable of ing the target.
* Secret Power only uses the animations of damage-dealing moves.
* In Generation IV and as well as , Secret Power only uses the animations of single-target moves.
* In , Secret Power uses the animation of in a volcanic area and the animation of in space, the only instances of it using the animation of a multi-target move in Generation VI.
** As a result, it has a unique animation when used in Horde Encounters in volcanic areas (there are no battles with multiple opponents in space). Incinerate shoots fireballs at all opponents, whereas Secret Power only shoots a fireball at the target. This is the only instance in the core series games that Secret Power has a unique animation.
* In Generation VII, Secret Power uses the animation of Incinerate when used in volcanic areas, the only instance of it using the animation of a multi-target move in that generation. Unlike in Generation VI, it uses the same animation as Incinerate in battles with multiple opponents, causing both opponents to react to the hit despite the move only affecting one of them.
* Secret Power is the only move present in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team not to be present in the remake, as it was exclusively a TM move in Generation III and does not have equivalent or a Move Tutor in Generation VII games, with the only Pokémon that learns it normally not being present in the game.
