Trivia

In the American and European region releases ofPokémon Colosseum, this move was erroneously namedSolid Plant, which is more aligned with its original Japanese name.
Frenzy Plant is tied withChloroblast for the highest basepower of allGrass-type attacks, excludingZ-Moves,Max Moves, andG-Max Moves.
- ABloom Doom based on Frenzy Plant has the highest base power of all Grass-type moves.
