Trivia

• Pokémon Symphonic Medley, Battle Frontier and an instrumental version of By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~ are used as background tracks.
  • The dub uses its Battle Frontier during the second round montage, with some lyrics modified to sidestep references to the Battle Frontier.
• Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture: Paras.
• This is the first Contest since her trade in Throwing the Track Switch that Dawn did not use Ambipom in.
• The dub's title is based on Queen's song, Another One Bites the Dust.
• Dawn's Buneary uses the similar appeal to the one in the Wallace Cup.

Errors

• Even though Gabite stepped on the Poffin with its right foot, the Poffin was seen under its left foot when Ursula looked at it.
