Trivia

File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png

The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode

• Poké TV: "Poké Love TV" featuring Noibat
  • The Poké TV segment was skipped for the initial broadcast of the episode and replaced with a trailer for M19.
• XY&Z is used as insert song when Noibat evolves and fights Zapdos.
• This episode is similar to an earlier episode which also involved a part Flying-type Kalos Pokémon that Ash owns, which evolves in the same episode that it battles one of the Legendary birds. In said episode, it was Ash's Fletchinder evolving into a Talonflame while battling a Moltres and in this episode Ash's Noibat evolves into a Noivern before battling a Zapdos.
• Knuckle narrates the preview for the next episode.
• As of this episode, every Pokémon Ash has caught in Kalos is fully evolved.
  • This is the first time all of Ash's Pokémon on hand, which are capable of evolving and not counting Pikachu, are fully evolved.

Errors

• Like in Rivals: Today and Tomorrow! and XY105, when Ash holds up Noibat's Poké Ball, the white center and black band around the white button is much larger than normal.
• Shortly after Noibat informs the group to go through the cave opening on the left, the top of Ash's black undershirt is shown to be blue, as well as part of his blue collar being white.
• When Noivern is putting Hawlucha down to Ash, his lower jaw turned black then back to purple seconds later.
• When Team Rocket capture Zapdos, part of its wing turns black.
• In the final shot of the episode, Noivern's lower jaw is black instead of purple.
