==Trivia==
* Razor Leaf is among the three attacks enhanced into "new" moves in the Pokémon Adventures manga, the others being and . It also has the longest name of a "move" in any media, being titled by as "Razor Leaf Dia Special Mach One and Only."
* During Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, the and dubs, probably by mistake, used the same translated name for both Razor Leaf and , even though the translation fits more accurately on the latter and the original series had already used a different, arguably better-suiting, translation of the first.
** A similar thing happens in the dub, with Razor Leaf's and Leaf Blade's names coinciding from Clamperl of Wisdom to From Cradle to Save. It is unknown why this happened in the first place, as Leaf Blade was known as Lâmina de Folha up to The Garden of Eatin'.
