Trivia

• In the September 22, 2022 press release announcing the Netflix premiere date in the United States, a statement that the season would contain "approximately 54 episodes" was included in error. The same 54 episode figure was also mentioned in an August 16, 2022 article by Toy World Magazine reporting on the announcement of the POP premiere date in the United Kingdom.
• Unlike the previous two seasons, the Ultimate Journeys logo that appears during the opening theme and the Who's That Pokémon? segment includes the phrase "The Series".
• This is the first season to have more than one opening theme song (first since Pokémon: Advanced, if going by television definition).
