Trivia

• This episode is based on an event in the games. A group of Psyduck are initially blocking the route to Celestic Town but a potion provided by Cynthia cures their headaches and makes them move away.
• Brock wears his outfit from Takeshi's Paradise in this episode, and music from that is used as well.
• After it is knocked out, Dawn returns Piplup to its Poké Ball for the first time since DP078, in which the episode number is a reversal of this episode. Once it was returned, it didn't appear for the rest of the episode.
• Ambipom had not used Double Team since it was an Aipom, making this its first time since evolving. In addition, Ambipom hasn't used this move since DP056 which was 31 episodes ago and right after she was traded to Dawn.
