* It is is stated that [[Lear]]'s mother, the queen of the kingdom which Lear, [[Rachel]], and {{mas|Sawyer}} are from, passed away when Lear was young. Her cause of death is unknown, though Sawyer says in his sync pair story that it came as a shock. Sawyer also says that the queen saved his {{p|Honchkrow}}'s life: at one point, when he was a {{p|Murkrow}}, he snuck into the royal treasure room and scratched up some of the queen's precious jewels. Many people thought he deserved punishment for it, but the queen was merciful and spared him that punishment.

* In the [[Villain Arc]], [[Team Flare]] takes into their custody some [[Team Rocket Grunt]]s that had infiltrated their organization as spies. [[Malva]] requests that they be punished in such a way that they never cause trouble for Team Flare again, and when she and {{mas|Lysandre}} have cornered the last two spies, she says that they have "taken care of the other spies", implying that all the other ones were killed in some way. Lysandre then bids these two spies farewell before attacking them with his {{p|Volcanion}}, implying that these two spies have been killed as well.

* During the Paulo chapter of the Villain Arc, {{mas|Ghetsis}}'s {{p|Kyurem}} attacks [[Paulo]]'s {{p|Rockruff}} with a powerful blast, after which Rockruff is nowhere to be seen. Ghetsis suggests that "Kyurem's attack blew it away, leaving no trace". [[Tina]] clings to the hope that they can somehow still find Rockruff, but Paulo tells her that Rockruff is gone.
* During the [[story event]] [[Midnight Spookfest|Midnight Battle Ball]], a {{p|Pumpkaboo}} leads {{mas|Morty}}, {{mas|Caitlin}}, {{mas|Hilbert}}, and the {{player}} - [[Scottie]] or [[Bettie]] - from the [[Battle Villa|villa]] to a cave. Knowing that Pumpkaboo are said to carry wandering spirits to the place they belong, Morty suggests that the cave could be a bridge to the afterlife. After the group successfully returns to the villa, Hilbert complains that Morty didn't tell them that Pumpkaboo carry spirits to their resting place before they started following it, to which Morty replies, "I thought it might be rude to say no if that's what it was really trying to do."

* In {{mas|Allister}}'s sync pair story, he says that when he was four years old, he was badly injured in an accident and was "wandering near death's doorstep", but Pokémon led him back to the world of the living.

* [[Tina]] mentions in the Paulo chapter of the Villain Arc that she once visited a Pokémon graveyard and listened to the stories of the Trainers who had come to visit the graves, which made her appreciate the limited time she has with her Pokémon. In addition, she mentions that ghost Pokémon hang out around Pokémon graves in one of her Pokémon Center conversations.
