Trivia

• This episode begins the five-part Wallace Cup arc.

• The dub title refers to the phrase "my cup runneth over", a line in the 23rd Psalm.
• Sinnoh Now's Japanese logo at the beginning of the episode is left intact in the dub.
• Rhonda refers to the various different regions of the Pokémon world as one country in this episode.

Errors

File:Snorlax preview dp76.png

Snorlax with Munchlax's color

• Like in Bibarel Gnaws Best!, Buizel's eye was colored the same as his Water Gun. However, it can be assumed that this is only a styling effect and done purposely, as it has been seen multiple times.
• The Snorlax in the next episode preview was incorrectly given Munchlax's color scheme. This was fixed for the preview that aired on Pokémon Sunday and in the actual episode.
• At the head of the dub, the narrator talked about the "Pokémon Contest of Pastoria City". There is no contest in Pastoria City. However, there is a gym.
• When Ash sent out Buizel to battle with Dawn, the spot on the top-left corner of his face was not filled in.
