Trivia
- As of Generation VIII, there are 41 Pokémon that have Levitate, making it the most common ability to date.
- No Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII have this ability.
- Of these 41 Pokémon, 35 of them have Levitate as their sole ability, while the Koffing and Bronzor families have a secondary and hidden ability, while Duskull has just a hidden ability.
- Vikavolt is the only Generation VII Pokémon that has Levitate.
- Although all of Rotom's appliance forms retain Levitate, Fan Rotom's secondary type makes it immune to Ground-type moves to begin with, thus making Levitate redundant.
- Unlike with Spikes, Toxic Spikes, and Sticky Web, Pokémon with Levitate are not immune to Stealth Rock, as the entry hazard takes weaknesses into account.
- Thanks to this ability, the Tynamo family has no weaknesses, until they are affected by Iron Ball, Gastro Acid, Neutralising Gas, or Smack Down.
