Events

The March 2018 edition of CoroCoro revealed that the movie's special distribution to Generation VII games in Japan would be a Lugia. It is at level 100 and possesses its Hidden Ability Multiscale, as well as the moves Aeroblast, Defog, Tailwind, and Hurricane, the latter of which it cannot normally learn. It is nicknamed "Wind Lugia" in reference to its role in the Wind Festival in the film. It was distributed via serial codes that were distributed from April 13 to July 12, 2018 by pre-booking tickets to the movie, with the codes themselves being redeemable until September 30.

The June 2018 edition of CoroCoro revealed that Zeraora would be distributed at showings of the movie from July 13 to September 30. It is at level 50 and possesses the moves Plasma Fists, Thunder Punch, Close Combat, and Thunder, and holds an Air Balloon. Its stats match the Zeraora shown in a special Battle Video in April. A disc for the Pokémon Ga-Olé arcade game was also distributed.

Trivia

• This movie was released between A Young Royal Flame Ignites! and All They Want to Do is Dance Dance! in Japan.
• Ash is seen using the fewest Pokémon in this movie than in any other, with Pikachu being his only known Pokémon under his ownership.
• This is the first Pokémon movie where:
  • It is released on a Friday in Japan; all previous movies were released on a Saturday.
  • Kunihiko Yuyama is not the director.
  • Ash is not seen to be traveling with anyone.
  • None of Ash's friends from the main series make an appearance of any kind.
  • Ash is seen owning a Pokémon (either temporary or main) that he didn't own in the main series.
  • Any talking Pokémon other than Meowth are not featured since Destiny Deoxys, during the Advanced Generation series.
  • Team Rocket was directly responsible for its conflict. In prior movies, Team Rocket either acted as comic relief or otherwise attempted to help quell the conflict.
• The English title of the movie is a reference to the English title of the second movie; both movies also feature a Lugia.
• This is the last movie to feature Unshō Ishizuka prior to his death in 2018.
• This is the first movie since Mewtwo Strikes Back to have a post-credits scene.
• This is the first movie since Genesect and the Legend Awakened to have its dub retain the original soundtrack.
• In American theaters, the movie was preceded by each dubbed opening theme for the TV series, exclusive Who's That Pokémon? segments, clip medleys of Jigglypuff and Pikachu set to electric guitar music, episodes of Pokémon Generations, and an interview video with Kunihiko Yuyama on directing the Pokémon movies and Rob Letterman on Detective Pikachu. UK showings omitted all bar the Generations episodes and interview, but included advertisements for the UK Pokémon magazine and Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, and a trailer for Detective Pikachu.
  • Fathom Events also held a promotion to issue free tickets for Regal and AMC showings to those who supplied a Pokémon-related teamwork story befitting the theme of the movie via various sites.
• This movie will be aired in the Philippines on December 5, 2018 on selected SM Cinemas.

Errors

• When Risa is watching Ash chase a Tyranitar during the Pokémon Catching Race, the shell on a Trainer's Squirtle is miscolored the same blue as the rest of its body.

Dub edits

• The Power of Us replaces Breath as the ending theme.
