Trivia
- Acerola is the only Alola Elite Four member that does not form a Physical Strike sync pair.
- All versions of Acerola use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon). Those Trainers include Lillie, Sophocles, Olivia, Nanu, Kahili, and Molayne.
- Acerola is the only character available in the Trainer Lodge whose lodge pair could be upgraded to 6★ EX before the original pair.
- Acerola & Palossand were the last 5★ sync pair to retroactively receive an EX style, aside from those obtained by exchanging a BP Sync Pair Super Voucher.
- This gives them the largest gap of any initial 5★ character between their release and their gaining the ability to be raised to 6★ EX, at 1611 days. They have been playable since the game was released (on August 29, 2019), and they received their EX style on January 25, 2024.
- According to Nanu, Acerola's Tapu Bulu is not the Ula'ula Island guardian that he knows. Olivia theorizes that it came from an Ultra Wormhole.
