Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
When James and Meowth blast off, they are wearing their electric proof jackets. In theory, the jackets could be used in later episodes for protection from Pikachu's Thunder, but they have not been seen since.
When Ash, James, and Meowth are running from Electrike, Ash didn't have his gloves on. But when Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt on Jessie's machine, he has his gloves on. When Electrike evolves, his gloves are gone.
Pachirisu and Pikachu zap the two outer targets. When the camera pans out, it shows the target on the right fixed and the left and center targets broken.
