Trivia

  • Poké Problem: What is my Charjabug's Nature?
    • Host: Sophocles
    • Choices: Calm, Timid, Gentle, Mild
    • Answer: Mild
  • The car that the Hayate's Shiny Charjabug drives is based on the high-speed flight form of a Shiny Genesect and the Red Zaku II from Gundam, from the horn on top of Charjabug's head and the team that it belongs to, being called "Red Comet".
  • The Japanese title of this episode is a reference to the series Dash! Yonkuro. When cheering Charjabug on as it crossed the finish line, the faces that Ash, Sophocles, and Kiawe's made referenced some of its main characters.
  • The disguises which Jessie and James wear in this episode are a reference to the series Bakusō Kyōdai Let's & Go!!, with Jessie's outfit based off of the character of Retsu Seiba and James's outfit based off of Gō Seiba.
  • The contraption that Kiawe wears on his body during the montage scene of Ash, Kiawe, and Sophocles preparing for the Charjabug Race is a reference to the series Star of the Giants, where the main character wore a similar contraption on his body, in order to straighten out his arms, making him better at playing baseball. Meowth wore a similar device during a flashback in Pulling Out the Pokémon Base Pepper!.
  • Pose is used as an insert song during Chargabug's training for the race.
  • Mallow, Ash, Lillie, Kiawe, Lana, Sophocles narrate the preview for the next episode.
