Trivia

  • It was the only Move Card to appear in the anime and never be named (at least not in the dub).
  • Though it was used on Spiny, it only managed to weaken him; it still took Chomp's Lightning Strike to finish him off.
  • The TCG has a version of this card called "Grind Away" (probably to avoid using the term "Death").
  • It was one of the first set of 15 Normal Moves released in the arcade game.
  • Artwork from one of its various arcade cards is seen on the TCG Move Card Desperate Dash (06 5th).
  • In the arcade game, a Dinosaur needs 600-800 Technique to use it to full effect, thereby indicating those with 1400-1600 Power. Those with more Technique will actually get less effect from it.
  • Like the majority of the Moves shown in the arcade, Death Grind can sometimes have weird animations of dinosaurs jamming their heads into their opponent's body. This is all due to the differing sizes of each dinosaur model and the fact that there is only one animation for each Move. Therefore, these errors can be forgiven.
  • There’s a second version of the move in the arcade where instead of farting on the enemy they trample them (shown in gallery).
