Trivia

File:Title Card XY Serena V2.png

The title card segment focuses on Serena for this episode

• Poké TV: "Performer News" focused on Performers and their Pokémon in Showcases and ended with a performance by Pikachu Belle.
• Ash, Clemont and Serena read the title card for this episode.
• After Ash, Serena, Miette, and James are chosen to participate in the Tag Battle, Monsieur Pierre breaks the fourth wall by saying "We'll be back right after this." right before it goes to the Pokémon Quiz.
• This is another time where the Pokémon Quiz segment features a Pokémon that has already been featured. In this case, Slurpuff was featured 78 episodes ago.
• Serena's Pancham, Clemont's Dedenne, and James's Inkay are all confirmed to be male in this episode.
• At the beginning of the episode, Bonnie is heard humming Puni-chan's Song.
• The music heard during the dancing sequence contains the singing voice of Meloetta.
• DreamDream is used as an insert song when Eevee evolves into Sylveon.
• Ash, Sawyer, and Alain narrate the preview for the next episode.

Errors

• There is inconsistency with Monsieur Pierre's Klefki's keys on multiple occasions.
  • During Monsieur Pierre's Pokévision, when Klefki has his ring open, the keys on each respective arm switch order.
  • When Monsieur Pierre and Aria finish dancing, Klefki's car key is located on his right arm behind the yellow key.
  • When Monsieur Pierre announces that there will be a Tag Battle, the teeth on Klefki's car key are facing backwards.
  • When Monsieur Pierre announces the location for the next Pokémon Showcase, all four of Klefki's keys are in backwards order, the teeth on the black and car keys are facing the opposite way, and the bumps on the yellow key are missing.
• When Ash and his friends arrive at the dance party and meet up with Miette, Eevee frequently disappears and reappears from standing next to Serena's feet in between shots.
• When Ash and his friends talk with Miette outside the building which holds the dance party, Miette is seen holding Ash's left hand, but then in the next shot, she is holding Ash's right hand.
• Before the Tag Battle begins, all scenes showing Pancham at the dance party show him with a white collar beneath his tie, but afterwards, the white collar is missing.
• During the shot of Pikachu looking around for a new dance partner, a Snubbull is missing her tiara only for it to reappear in the next shot showing Eevee.
• Several mistakes occurred where Pokémon switch between wearing a tie and wearing a tiara.
  • A Jigglypuff is mostly seen wearing a tie, but in the scene after Ash, Serena, Miette, and James are chosen to participate in the Tag Battle, the Jigglypuff is instead wearing a tiara.
  • When Monsieur Pierre announces the location for the next Pokémon Showcase, a Minun and Lily's Pansage are wearing ties instead of tiaras and a Munchlax is wearing a tiara instead of a tie.
• When Monsieur Pierre pulls out a card while explaining who will participate in the Tag Battle, his Klefki and staff disappear.
• In the beginning of the Tag Battle when Pikachu charges at Miette's Slurpuff with Quick Attack, Slurpuff disappears.
• As Eevee is evolving into Sylveon, Dedenne's tooth is missing.
• After Eevee evolves into Sylveon, the brown stripes on Pikachu's back are seen in different colors. The first one is light in color and the second one is dark.
• When Sylveon was dodging Inkay's Tackle for the last time, her tail was missing.
• When everyone applauds after the Tag Battle, the collar that a Heliolisk was wearing beneath his tie was black instead of white.
• When Ash runs up to Serena after winning the Tag Battle, Pikachu's bruises disappear.
  • In the next shot of when Bonnie, Clemont, Braixen, Pancham, and Bunnelby run up to Ash and Serena, Pikachu disappears from resting on Ash's shoulder.
    • In the following shot of when Bunnelby walks up to Sylveon, a Purrloin in the background is missing her tiara.
