Trivia

• Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!: Pinsir
• The trade between a Trainer's Spearow nicknamed "Oni-chan" and a Gentleman's Farfetch'd nicknamed "Oshō-kun" is a reference to Pokémon Red and Blue, where the player can trade a Spearow to a NPC's Farfetch'd in Vermilion City, which has the nickname "Oshō" in the Japanese version.
  • The fact that Farfetch'd's original Trainer is a Gentleman is a reference to Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, where a Gentleman is considering trading his Farfetch'd for a Spearow.
  • Spearow's nickname "Oni-chan" is also a reference to Red and Blue, where a Spearow inside a NPC's house in Viridian City has the nickname "Oni-chan" in the Japanese version.
• This episode marks the first appearance of a number of Pokémon species in the main series after long absences:
  • Scolipede, who last appeared in A Cellular Connection!, 216 episodes ago.
  • Drapion, who last appeared in The Right Hero for the Right Job!, 185 episodes ago.
• The trade-in progress animation is similar to the one from Pokémon Sword and Shield.
• Ash, Pikachu, Bea, and Goh narrate the preview for the next episode.

Errors

• Goh's Rotom Phone didn’t mention Heracross being a Fighting-type.
