Trivia

File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png

The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode

• Poké TV: "Burn! Pokémon Challenge!!" focusing on Garchomp.
• Ash and Sawyer narrate the preview for the next episode.
• The regular opening sequence is entirely replaced with clips from the third XY series movie.
• Squishy does not appear in this episode.

Errors

• When Charizard is hit by Garchomp's Draco Meteor, the scoreboard shows Remo's old design.
  • His old design is shown on the scoreboard again when Mega Garchomp uses Dragon Rush.
• Once Alain defeated Remo, in the split second that it is shown, the scoreboard is missing his Metagross, only showing a Poké Ball in place of it, when it was shown on the scoreboard the last time it was shown.
• When Chespin escapes from its Poké Ball, it is shown coming from Bonnie's side, when in fact it should have come from Clemont's.
• When Ash sends out Hawlucha and the crowd stares at him, the Swablu's beak is yellow instead of white.
• Before Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on Clawitzer, the scoreboard shows Ash's Talonflame and Hawlucha on the right-hand side of Ash's team, whereas they were shown on the left in a previous shot of the scoreboard and in the following shot when Sawyer's Aegislash is added.
• Pikachu is seen using Electro Ball before Ash can command him to use the attack.
