Trivia

It is currently the first and only Bug-type that is sound-based.
Beedrill is only Generation I Bug-type that possesses wings, yet cannot learn Bug Buzz in Generation IV. Ironically, the wingless Venonat learns it as an Egg Move.
It is one of two Bug-type moves that start with the word "Bug", the other one being Bug Bite.
