Trivia

• Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!: Wailord
• Team Rocket reads out the title card for this episode.
• This episode premiered the same day Pokémon Legends: Arceus was released.
• This episode marks the first appearance of Butch and Cassidy in the anime since Sleight of Sand!, 649 episodes earlier.
• The wooden carvings in Cassidy's house are based on the Pokémon she used during the course of the anime.
• Team Rocket as a whole blasts off three times in this episode, while Jessie and Wobbuffet blast off four times.
• This is one of the rare times where Team Rocket has willingly wanted to be blasted off.
• Meowth's Ballad and Team Rocket's Team Song are used as insert songs in this episode.
  • This episode also marks the first time in Pokémon Journeys: The Series that a theme song from a past series is used as an insert song in an episode.

Errors

• When Cinderace and Lucario use Pyro Ball and Aura Sphere, respectively, Slaking is in front of Team Rocket despite returning to its Poké Ball in the previous scene.
• When Swablu uses Dragon Breath to blast off Team Rocket the second time, the Wobbuffet balloon and Pelipper are above the clouds. However, they were below the clouds in previous scenes.
