Trivia

• Wobbuffet replaces Pikachu for the second segment's title card, which is read by Jessie and James.
• Ash and Goh do not appear in the second segment.
• This is the first episode in Pokémon Journeys: The Series in which none of Goh's Pokémon appear since he caught Scorbunny in Mind-Boggling Dynamax!.
• This episode marks the first appearance of a number of Pokémon species in the main series after long absences:
  • Tirtouga and Carracosta, both of whom last appeared in A Restoration Confrontation! Part 2, 410 episodes earlier.
    • This also marks the first main series appearance of the two since their main series debuts in the aforementioned episode and its first part.
  • Grotle, who last appeared in The Journalist from Another Region!, 352 episodes earlier.
  • Torterra, who last appeared in The Dream Continues!, 344 episodes earlier.
• This episode marks the first appearance of a Turtonator in the anime other than the one that belongs to Kiawe.
• Goh, Ash, Jessie, James, and Pikachu narrate the preview for the next episode.
  • In the preview, Goh says "One morning, when I woke from strange dreams, I found myself transformed in a Rillaboom," which is an almost word by word quote of the opening line of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka ("One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin", translated by David Wyllie, public domain).
