Trivia
- Professor Oak's lecture: Chatot
- Pokémon senryū: ペラペラと ラップでおしゃべり ペラップよ Perapera to, rappu de oshaberi, Perappu yo "Blablabla and Chattering rap, it's Perap"
- Chatot has much more involvement than most Pokémon, appearing before the reveal and during the senryū.
- This is Paul's Weavile's first appearance since Top-Down Training!.
- In Kanto, Ash filled his party with Squirtle two episodes before he first met Lt. Surge, Kanto's third Gym Leader. In this episode, he captures Gligar, while in DP066 he met Maylene, Sinnoh's third Gym Leader. Another parallel is that both Squirtle and Gligar were part of a group of Pokémon of their same species that caused trouble in a town. Both of them also voluntarily followed Ash.
- The featured town is apparently located on Route 215, which is one of the routes where wild Gligar appear in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl via the dongle method.
- This is the fourth time that Ash and one of his rival caught a Pokémon of the same type of species, the first being both Ash and Gary owning a Krabby. The second time was Ash and Tyson each having a Sceptile, though not at the same time. The third was for a very short time, with Ash and Paul having Starlys.
Errors
- The episode features many Template:Type2 moves used against Template:Type2 Pokémon with visible effect (Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Electabuzz's ThunderPunch). Template:Type2s like Gligar and Gliscor are immune to them.
- In one scene where Nurse Joy is looking at her laptop, her hat is colored the same has her hair.
