Trivia

File:Title Card XY Serena V2.png

The title card segment focuses on Serena for this episode

• In the Japanese version, the title card segment focuses on Serena.
• Poké TV: "Performer News" focusing on Performers and their Pokémon and ending with a performance by Pikachu Libre.
• This is the first episode since the beginning of the XY&Z arc in which Team Rocket does not appear.
  • This is also the first Showcase where Jessie doesn't compete when Serena does.
• Clemont, Ash, Bonnie, Jessie, James, and Meowth narrate the preview for the next episode.
• DreamDream is used as an insert song during Serena's Freestyle Performance.

Errors

• During Serena's Theme Performance, Cal can be seen backstage watching Serena on the screen, even though she was performing in the same round herself at the time.
• When Serena's Braixen takes a Poké Puff, there is a green Poké Puff shown in Serena's case despite one of that color not being present before.
