Trivia

File:Title Card XY Serena V2.png

The title card segment focuses on Serena for this episode

• Poké TV: "Burn! Pokémon Challenge!!" focusing on Fletchinder.
  • The Poké TV segment was skipped for the initial broadcast of the episode and replaced with a trailer for the third XY series movie.
• In the Japanese version, the title card segment focuses on Serena and is read by Clemont.
• Clemont and Ash narrate the preview of the next episode.
• Serena does not wear her hat throughout this episode.
• When Jimmy plays his guitar, silhouettes of Pikachu's old design can be seen in the background.
• During one of Meowth's boss fantasies, Giovanni is seen with an orange suit, much like his design from the original series.

Errors

• When Greninja uses Cut to cut Pikachu's Electro Ball during their practice battle, the brown patch on Pikachu's tail is abnormally larger than usual.
• While Serena is nursing Ash to health, Sylveon's feet are cream colored rather than darker pink.
• While Pikachu and Tongari fire a Thunderbolt at one another and are airborn as it collides, the brown spot on both of their tails is missing.
  • In the same shot, Ash's Pikachu is also missing the red circle on his cheeks.
