Trivia

• Poké Problem: What is the Totem Pokémon that appears in today's episode?
  • Host: Mallow
  • Choices: Wishiwashi, Tapu Lele, Lurantis, Gumshoos
  • Answer: Lurantis
• Ash, Mallow, and Lana narrate the preview for the next episode.
• The scene Ash battles Olivia in his dream is recycled of when he faces Hala in Trial and Tribulation!, including the background, Ash's position and Professor Kukui's movements.
• In the scene Ash wakes up, he is using the same white t-shirt with a Pikachu on it that looks similar to the Pokémon 20th Anniversary logo, seen in So Long, Sophocles!.

Errors

• When Ash performs his Z-Move pose, he isn't shown wearing his backpack like in the previous shot. This is likely because the animation was taken from previous episodes where Ash does this pose.
  • Additionally, beforehand, Ash's Z-Ring is shown equipped with the Electrium Z throughout the battle, but it changes to the Normalium Z when uses Breakneck Blitz.
