Trivia

File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png

The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode

Poké TV: "Pokémon 24 Hours!" focusing on Wulfric.
This is the second time that Ash has lost a second Gym battle in the same region, the first being Kanto.
- This also marks the first time Ash has lost a Gym battle against the final Gym Leader.
No one narrates the preview of the next episode, and there is no catchphrase at the end, only Ash mentioning the series name and episode title at the end.
This is the first time that Pikachu does not participate in a region's final Gym battle.

Errors

Like in Rivals: Today and Tomorrow! and A Meeting of Two Journeys! for Greninja and An Electrifying Rage! for Noivern, when Ash holds up Hawlucha's Poké Ball, the white center and black band around the white button is much larger than normal.
After Hawlucha gets sent out to battle and starts to trip on the icy battlefield, the black sclera in Hawlucha's eyes is colored the same as the yellow sclera that is usually next to the black sclera.
On three different occasions during the battle, Bonnie's ponytail disappears.
When Nurse Joy enters the room and the group stands up, Ash is shown not wearing his hat, but when Nurse Joy explains about the damage Greninja took during the battle, Ash is wearing his hat. In the close up shot of the devastated Ash, however, he is no longer wearing his hat.
