Opening animation spoilers

• A Trainer, with a Treecko, will debut in the near future.

Variant 1

• Ash captures a Goomy.
• Ash's Goomy evolves into Sliggoo and later into Goodra.

Variant 2

• Clemont's Luxio evolves into Luxray.
• Serena's Fennekin evolves into Braixen.

Variant 3

• Ash and Alain meet each other.
• Ash captures a Noibat.

Trivia

• In the second variant, at the part where Serena and her Pokémon were performing in a Pokémon Showcase, the outfits worn match those found on the DreamDream (single) Limited Pokémon Edition cover art.
• The complete team roster shown in the second variant was valid for less than one episode, as Sliggoo evolved in the episode directly following Fennekin's evolution into Braixen.

Errors

• During the scene of Ash and his friends riding on the giant Poké Balls, Clemont and Bonnie's giant Poké Ball is seen cut off in one frame. This error was later fixed in the second variant and onwards.
• In the first variant and second variant, at the part where Ash is releasing his Pokémon, the toes on Frogadier's feet are colored white instead of dark blue. This error was later fixed in the third variant.
• In the second variant and onwards, at the part where Serena is about to release her Pokémon, Pancham's Poké Ball's pattern colors are swapped as she is holding it upside down.
• In the first variant, at the part where the main characters and their Pokémon are looking at the sunset, Luxio's pupils are black instead of yellow.
• In the second variant and onwards, at the part where the main characters and their Pokémon are looking at the sunset, Luxray's stomach is black instead of blue.
• After XY086 aired, Fletchinder was not updated as a Talonflame despite evolving in said episode. The same goes with the ending theme.
