Only Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to the move.

If you received the Winner's Path for the Pokewalker in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, you can find a Munchlax that knows Selfdestruct.

Other GamesEdit

Super Smash Bros. SeriesEdit

In the Super Smash Bros. series pokemon appear in battles as items in the form of pokeballs. In S.S.B.B. (Brawl) Eelectrode will use self destruct. Electrode's body will have start becoming red indicating it's about to blow, however it can only be picked up when it's about to explode meaning it is hard to throw it. Sometimes it wil even short-circuit, making steam come from it, after this it wil start again and explode much faster.
