Trivia

• When placing a Series 3 or Series 4 Skylanders into previous games, they will have their older Wow Pows available instead of their current ones. Placing them back to their respective current game will revert them back to their default Wow Pow.
• While LightCore Skylanders and Eon's Elites are revised characters from their original, they do not possess Wow Pows 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 later games however.
  • In Skylanders Swap Force, Eon's Elites will appear as "Series 3 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 later 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 Pows aren't listed in the upgrades for any of the Series 2 Skylanders, but the Wow Pows does exist in-game. In later games however, descriptions were added.
• On the 3DS version of Swap Force and Trap Team, some Wow Pows are locked from preview and thus requires said figure to unlock, while the majority of Skylanders with Wow Pows can be previewed right away, regardless of whether the player owns the figures or not.
• Although Dark Spyro has different moveset compared to regular Spyro for the 3DS, their Series 3 Wow Pow are both the same.
