Trivia
- This is the first episode in which Kenny is seen obtaining a ribbon on-screen. All others were shown on television.
- This episode is similar to a previous contest episode, Team Shocker!, as Dawn uses only Ambipom, loses the contest, and Kenny participates.
- This is the first time since Arrival of a Rival that Dawn has lost in the second round in an official contest.
Errors
- During the second round battles, Ambipom uses Double Hit on a Haunter. As a Normal-type move, it should not affect Haunter, a Ghost-type Pokémon.
- Just before Marian announces the finalists, Piplup's "cape" is missing.
