*[[LightCore Skylanders]]
 
== Trivia ==
*When placing a Series 3 or Series 4 Skylanders into previous games, they will appear as their previous revision (Ex; Hyper Beam Prism Break will appear as Series 2 when played in Giants) and will have access to their older Wow Pow available in place of the newer powers. Placing them back to their respective current game will revert them back to their default revision and Wow Pow.
*While LightCore Skylanders and Eon's Elites are revised characters from their original, they do not possess Wow Pow and should not be confused with the Series revisions.
** In ''Skylanders Giants'', Eon's Elites will appear as "Series 2 Special" and thus will have access to their Wow Pow if available as well as being able to change paths. However, the Wow Pow won't get carried over to newer games however.
*Some Wow Pows are slightly altered for the 3DS version due to different movesets compared to consoles.
*Interestingly, on the 3DS version of ''Giants'', Wow Pow upgrades aren't listed in the upgrades section for any of the Series 2 Skylanders, but the Wow Pows does exist in-game. In Swap Force and Trap Team however, descriptions were added.
* On the 3DS version of ''Swap Force'' and ''Trap Team'', some Wow Pow are locked from preview and thus requires said figure to unlock, while the majority of Skylanders with Wow Pow can be previewed right away, regardless of whether the player owns the figures or not.
*Although Dark Spyro has a different moveset compared to regular Spyro for the 3DS, their Series 3 Wow Pow are both the same.
*Fryno is the only Swap Force-debuting Skylander to recieve a Wow Pow.
*None of the Trap Team-debuting core Skylanders ever recieved a Wow Pow.
*Trigger Happy is the only Tech Skylander to have two Wow Pows.
*Interestingly, no new Tech, Undead and Earth Wow Pow-reposed Skylander was ever introduced in Trap Team.
*Gill Grunt is the only Skylander to have three Wow Pows.

Trivia

  • When placing a Series 3 or Series 4 Skylanders into previous games, they will appear as their previous revision (Ex; Hyper Beam Prism Break will appear as Series 2 when played in Giants) and will have access to their older Wow Pow available in place of the newer powers. Placing them back to their respective current game will revert them back to their default revision and Wow Pow.
  • While LightCore Skylanders and Eon's Elites are revised characters from their original, they do not possess Wow Pow and should not be confused with the Series revisions.
    • In Skylanders Giants, Eon's Elites will appear as "Series 2 Special" and thus will have access to their Wow Pow if available as well as being able to change paths. However, the Wow Pow won't get carried over to newer games however.
  • Some Wow Pows are slightly altered for the 3DS version due to different movesets compared to consoles.
  • Interestingly, on the 3DS version of Giants, Wow Pow upgrades aren't listed in the upgrades section for any of the Series 2 Skylanders, but the Wow Pows does exist in-game. In Swap Force and Trap Team however, descriptions were added.
  • On the 3DS version of Swap Force and Trap Team, some Wow Pow are locked from preview and thus requires said figure to unlock, while the majority of Skylanders with Wow Pow can be previewed right away, regardless of whether the player owns the figures or not.
  • Although Dark Spyro has a different moveset compared to regular Spyro for the 3DS, their Series 3 Wow Pow are both the same.
  • Fryno is the only Swap Force-debuting Skylander to recieve a Wow Pow.
  • None of the Trap Team-debuting core Skylanders ever recieved a Wow Pow.
  • Trigger Happy is the only Tech Skylander to have two Wow Pows.
  • Interestingly, no new Tech, Undead and Earth Wow Pow-reposed Skylander was ever introduced in Trap Team.
  • Gill Grunt is the only Skylander to have three Wow Pows.
