Trivia

Meowth's ear error
  • This episode marks Giovanni's first appearance since leaving Unova in Unova's Survival Crisis! 26 episodes earlier.
  • The lettering on the magazine Ash reads in the cabin closely resembles the English alphabet.
  • This is the first time the Team Rocket trio has received credit and praise directly from Giovanni — in this case, for defeating Team Plasma. Previously, messages of praise were conveyed to them through other agents, Pierce or Matori.

Errors

  • In a shot of the water rising through the ship, Meowth's ears are colored cream like the rest of his body instead of black.
  • When meeting Porter for the first time, Ash addresses him by his Japanese name, Parker. Closed-captions of the scene call him by Porter, meaning that Ash's line was recorded before the change from Parker to Porter was finalized.
