Trivia
- Poké Problem: The last Pokémon standing in today's battle is...?
- The opening animation is updated to include Ash's Melmetal.
- Type: Wild is used as an insert song when Ash and Gladion reminisce about the history of the rivalry between their respective Lycanroc.
- This is the first time Ash beats Gladion in a battle, as previously, either Ash has lost against Gladion or their battle was interrupted.
- This marks the first time that Ash has won a Pokémon League Conference, as well as the first time he has won a game-original League.
- This episode features the following flashbacks of Ash's Lycanroc and Gladion's Lycanroc:
- This episode first aired just under a week shy of the twentieth anniversary of Ash's first Pokémon League victory.
- Coincidentally, both episodes are the only ones to involve Ash winning a League.
- Another coincidence occurs in that Ash’s only two victories take place in a setting that consists of a tropical archipelago featuring regionally influenced variants of Pokémon, and are overseen by a team of 4 primary trainers that must be faced in the lead up to the main competition. However, unlike the Orange Crew the Island Kahunas are not necessarily required to be faced to enter.
- Meowth, Jessie, James, and Wobbuffet all narrate the preview for the next episode.
