Trivia

• This is the only Diamond and Pearl series movie that is a stand alone movie. The other three Diamond and Pearl movies are part of a trilogy.
• This movie marks the first time all three of the legendary beasts will appear at the same time in the anime, and the first time Raikou gets a starring role in a movie.
  • This is also the first time shiny Pokémon have a major role in a movie.
• Even though the movie airs between DP183 and DP184, it does not actually take place in that time period which is during the Suzuran Conference.
• This movie will be released in Taiwan on July 30, 2010, which is just 20 days after its Japanese premiere.
• Professor Rowan, Johanna, Paul, Barry, Ursula, Nando, Zoey, Cynthia and Palmer make cameo appearances in the movie's credits, along with all of the Gym Leaders and Elite Four members of Sinnoh.
• Jimmy makes a cameo in the beginning of the film with a Donphan.
• The Officer Jenny seen in this movie has a star symbol on her hat, which was the same symbol worn by the Jenny in Viridian City (who was also the first Officer Jenny to appear in the series).
