Trivia

Team Rocket's Pokémon Live Caster: Team Rocket's old Pokémon
- Viewers could call one of three phone numbers to want either Wobbuffet, Mime Jr., or Dustox to return to the series. Three random callers won a Nintendo 3DS XL with a prepaid gift card, which allows the player to gain access to the Pokémon Dream Radar.
When first aired, Team Rocket Forever was used as the ending theme for this episode instead of Look Look☆Here. Subsequent re-airings use Look Look☆Here.
Iris narrates the preview for the next episode.
This is the last episode of the fifteenth season, Pokémon Black & White: Rival Destinies.
This episode aired December 31, 2012 in the UK, twenty six days before the US airdate.
- The gap between the Japanese and UK airings was 88 days - making this the shortest time between the premiere of the Japanese version and the English dub of the same episode.
- On January 26, 2013, it was also aired in Spanish on CN USA via the Secondary Audio Track on all U.S and U.S Territories (such as Puerto Rico)
This episode aired on January 3, 2013 in Italy (on K2), twenty-three days before the US airdate.
This episode aired on January 10, 2013 in Poland (on DisneyXD), sixteen days before the US airdate.
This episode aired on January 26, 2013 in Latin America, at the same time than the US airing.
- It was supposed to air in English but it was erroneously broadcasted on Cartoon Network USA via the Secondary Audio Track on all U.S and U.S Territories using the dubbed Latin American Spanish track, which was scheduled to debut on 2014.

Errors

Giovanni's eyes incorrectly colored white

Just before Jessie, James and Meowth push Giovanni off the pedestal while he is possessed, his eyes are colored white when they should still be red.

Dub edits

In the original version of the episode, Tornadus's voice changes to become much higher pitched when it changes into Therian Forme. This is not retained for the dub, in which all three of the Kami Trio have the same voices in both Formes.
