Trivia

  • In the September 22, 2022 press release announcing the Netflix premiere date in the United States, a statement that the season would contain "approximately 54 episodes" was included in error.[1][2] The same 54 episode figure was also mentioned in an August 16, 2022 article by Toy World Magazine reporting on the announcement of the POP premiere date in the United Kingdom.[3] This number would later prove to be the accurate episode number.
  • Unlike the previous two seasons, the Ultimate Journeys logo that appears during the opening theme and the Who's That Pokémon? segment includes the phrase "The Series".
  • This is the first season to have more than one opening theme song (first since Pokémon: Advanced, if going by television definition).
  • As with Pokémon the Series: XYZ, this season contains a special episode. However, it is the first season to contain a special episode that is not counted by the Japanese official websites, rental DVDs, and video-on-demand streaming releases as a main series episode the way The Legend of X, Y, and Z!, XYS06, and the Mega Evolution Specials were.
  • This is the last season to feature Ash and Pikachu as main protagonists and the Team Rocket trio as main antagonists.
  • The 12 episodes of To Be a Pokémon Master were released in the United States on the 25th anniversary of the original airing of the animated series's first episode.
  • This is the last season to feature Carter Cathcart as the script adapter and a voice actor for the English dub, as he opted to retire from the animated series following his diagnosis of cancer.
