Had {{Ash}} reached such a round, he would have had to either call up his {{AP|Squirtle}} or borrow one of {{an|Misty}}'s Pokémon to fill in his roster with legal Pokémon, neither of which would likely have been possible.

* In the English dub, {{an|Brock}} said that the [[move]] {{m|Mirror Coat}} can only respond to {{type|Water}} attacks, even though it can respond attacks of all [[type]]s.

** This is most likely to simplify the workings of Mirror Coat, as the qualities of Physical/Special were not touched upon in detail in the {{pkmn|anime}}. In [[Generation II]], all Water attacks were Special, and thus would be deflected by Mirror Coat, while {{p|Gyarados}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}} was a {{t|Normal}} type and Physical, and thus would not be affected. This is further shown when Corsola deflects {{m|Spark}} later in the episode, another attack that was Special at the time.
