Trivia
- This episode follows much of the premise of Electric Shock Showdown by having Ash's Pikachu be defeated by a Raichu and choose whether to evolve or not via the Thunderstone. Clips from the episode are shown at the end.
- It is shown that Ash still had the Thunderstone that the Nurse Joy from Vermilion City had given him. During the episode, Jessie, James, and Meowth grabbed the stone, and currently have it with them. It is also implied that they plan on selling it.
- To My Best Friend and Pokémon Symphonic Medley were both used as background music.
- The dub title is a reference to David and Goliath.
