Trivia

  • Heat Wave's association with theFlying type, as evident from the many Flying-type Pokémon capable of learning the move, is more apparent in the Japanese versions, where it is known as 「ねっぷう」Hot Wind.
  • Prior to Generation VI, this move andOminous Wind had the same in-game animation, the only difference being the color.
    • Similarly, in Generation III its animation was very similar toSandstorm's, the differences being the color and the effect on the targets' sprites.
  • The internal coding forPokémon Ruby and Sapphire shows Heat Wave would have been usable as a combo attack inDouble Battles by usingGust andEmber in the same turn. This feature was removed sometime during development.
