Trivia

File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png
The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode

Errors

  • When Astrid tells her Absol to use Psycho Cut, it is shown as a regular Absol, but seconds later, when Hawlucha attacks it, it is shown as a Mega Absol. This is likely due to the fact that the animation in the shot where Astrid tells her Absol to attack was taken directly from Mega Evolution Special I, where Absol was in its regular form while using the move.
  • When Tierno sends out Raichu, its nose is smaller than normal.
  • When Sceptile used Leaf Storm to counter Ice Beam, Sceptile's Sceptilite, as well as the ends of the scarf, change position from near Sceptile's left shoulder to its right. Every other time they were seen they were shown near Sceptile's left shoulder.
  • Shortly after Tierno sends out Raichu for the second time, the back of Raichu's right ear is completely yellow instead of brown.
