Trivia
- Despite Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon having finished airing by the time of the book's release, only information about the first two seasons are featured in the book, despite the third season being mentioned on page 7. This is also why the two-page Galar spread (pages 296-297) is quite basic, simply featuring brief information on the first partner Pokémon alongside Zacian and Zamazenta, the game mascots.
- Some information regarding Kalos as the "latest" region in the "World of Pokémon" section has been retained from the previous edition, despite being surpassed by both Alola and Galar by the time of publication. Notably, the Kalos section was not updated to show information between the release of the second edition and the end of the series (such as Ash’s final Gym battle, the Pokémon League, or the Team Flare attack).
Errors
Many errors are carried over from previous editions, so they are not listed here.
- On page 17, Ash's Rowlet is incorrectly stated to have fully evolved, despite not evolving at all, even if it owns an Everstone.
- On page 264, Oluolu is written as 'Uloulo', which is actually just the former written backwards.
- On page 272, Celesteela is stated to be a Launch-Flying type, instead of a Steel/Flying type.
- On page 278, Type: Null is listed as a Null-type instead of a Normal-type.
- On page 295, Zygarde's formes are listed as having the height of its 50 percent forme.
