Trivia

• Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!: Palkia
• The uniforms the alternate world Team Rocket wears are highly similar to the ones the regular Team Rocket wore in Pokémon the Series: Black & White.
• This episode marks the first time Arceus has been mentioned by name in the main series.
• Cynthia owning a Kommo-o could be a reference to Pokémon Masters EX, where Sygna Suit Cynthia owns one.
  • This marks the first time Cynthia has revealed a new Pokémon in her possession since All for the Love of Meloetta!, 432 episodes earlier.
• Ash makes a reference to Ultra Wormholes when talking to Dawn about how Piplup disappeared.
• This episode marks the first time a devolution occurs on-screen in the anime, with Alternate World Dawn's Mamoswine and Quilava reverting to Piloswine and Cyndaquil, respectively.
• Alternate World Ash, Ash, Alternate World Professor Rowan, Dawn, and Pikachu narrate the preview for the next episode.

Errors

• Grookey's eyes are missing when Goh stands with Dawn in Alternate Dawn's room
