Trivia

File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png

The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode

• Poké TV: Interrupted by Xerosic who talks on the subject of Mega Evolution energy.
• Bonnie, Clemont, Clembot, Ash, and Xerosic narrate the preview for the next episode.
• Ash's Pokémon, Clemont's Luxray, and Heliolisk remain outside of their Poké Balls for the entire episode.
• The other two possibilities in the Pokémon Quiz are Infernape and Charizard, which like Greninja, are both Pokémon that Ash currently owns.

Errors

• After Mega Blaziken dodges Druddigon's Dragon Claw, Clemont's glasses are missing the yellow part in the middle.
• After Lysandre announces his intention to control Ash and Greninja, cables can be seen coming from the two bug devices firing the beams, despite them initially being wireless.

• Shortly after Xerosic announces Team Flare have control of Squishy, the bottom of Ash's t-shirt is white instead of black.
• Lysandre's Shiny Gyarados doesn't sparkle when it's released from its Poké Ball.
• When Greninja uses Cut, its light blue stripes are the same as its Giant Water Shuriken.
• Greninja is seen charging up Cut despite being shown using it in the previous shot.
