Trivia
- Zinnia replaces the Rayquaza's move Fly in the Delta Episode for Dragon Ascent, while Fly is a HM.
- HMs aren't normally able to be replaced by other moves in this way.
- Despite having dragon in the name, it is a -type move instead of a Dragon-type move.
- This might have been intentional due to the type being super-effective against more types and the Dragon type is only super-effective against itself.
