** [[Dawn's Pachirisu]] is a parallel to [[May's Skitty]], in that it is often hyper and needs to be calmed down (with a Poffin or toy respectively). It is also Dawn's second capture.

** [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] draws parallels to both [[May's Munchlax]] as a Swinub, in that it lives to eat, and [[Ash's Charizard]] in that it was respectful of its Trainer in its basic form, but disobeyed in its second and third form. It is also similar in that it evolved from its second form to its final form within less than five episodes from evolving. Both Ash's Charizard, Dawn's Mamoswine and May's Munchlax were all the Trainer's fifth captures within their career.

=== Similarities to Ash ===
* Out of all of {{Ash}}'s {{ashfr|friends}}, Dawn is the only one so far to have her debut episode dedicated completely to herself. Unlike other debut episodes, Ash didn't appear until the last minute. Also in that episode, she saw {{p|Mesprit|a legendary Pokémon}} similar to how Ash did at the start of his journey.
* She is the only main character aside from Ash to challenge an official Pokémon Gym from the games, and the first of Ash's friends to compete in an official Gym Battle in the main series since ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'' and ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where Brock battled Ash and Misty battled Ash respectively.
** Counting Gym Leaders of any sort (regardless of game appearance), Dawn is only the second main character other than Ash to do this, as Misty challenged [[Dorian]] in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
* Dawn is the second main character to have three Pokémon to disobey her: {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}. Ash's were {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Primeape}}, and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Like Ash, she has a [[Johanna|mother]] who lives by herself with a [[Johanna's Glameow|Pokémon]] of her own, with no information whatsoever about her father, mirroring [[Delia Ketchum]] and her [[Mimey|Mr. Mime]].
* Like Ash, Dawn has a childhood rival named {{si|Kenny}} who calls her by the nickname "Dee-dee" (Japanese: ピカリ ''Pikari''). Ash's childhood rival {{Gary}} calls him by the nickname "Ashy-boy" (Japanese: サトシくん ''Satoshi-kun'').
* Like Ash, she has an [[Dawn's Pachirisu|Electric-type Pokémon]] that is based off of a rodent.
** She also owns a {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}.
