Trivia

• Jessie's Dustox was removed from the opening.
• Instead of Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture, the end of the episode featured a memorial to Mewtwo Strikes Back. This is part of a countdown to Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin.
• Wallace, Sootopolis City's Gym Leader during Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions, and later Hoenn's Champion during Emerald, finally makes his anime debut.
• May makes a cameo at the end, wearing her game counterpart's outfit from Pokémon Emerald.
• May's Japanese voice actress is credited as 鈴木カオリ Kaori Suzuki.

Errors

• Like in Bibarel Gnaws Best!, Buizel's eye was colored the same as his Water Gun.
• 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.
