Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.

Synopsis

Template:Incomplete synopsis The gang finally reach Mauville City, however Ash’s Gym battle is forced to wait as the gang see an advert for a Pokémon Trick House, offering anyone who makes it through wih a lifetime supply of Pokéblocks. May is eager to win the prize, so the gang decide to enter, and meet up with a girl and her Whismur. But when Jigglypuff decides to perform her song, things may get complicated for the gang, and Team Rocket too.

Pokémon

Who’s That Pokémon?: Seviper

• Pikachu (Ash's)
• Meowth (Team Rocket)

• Seviper (Jessie's)
• Cacnea (James's)
• Whismur (Alanna's, debut)

Trivia

• When Jessie falls and pushes the log off the ledge during the second puzzle, she makes a reference to Life Alert, saying their trademark slogan: "I've fallen and I can't get up!"
• Alanna's Whismur is the second character to remain awake through Jigglypuff's song through its special ability, although it falls asleep during the second performance due to general exhaustion.
• For reasons unknown, this episode, as well as Jump For Joy, A Different Kind Of Misty, and Watt's With Wattson? has aired only twice on American TV. These may be classified as the lost TV episodes since Pokémon: Advanced underwent a 3 month hiatus on Kids' WB!. They can still be obtained on Volume 8 of the Advanced DVD and the Advanced DVD Box Set. It has been played once more in Cartoon Network's Pokémon Episodes that are new to the network in the summer of 2008.
• The dub title is a reference to a block party.
• This is currently the last appearance of the recurring Jigglypuff

Errors

• Max refers to Whismur's Soundproof ability as an attack in the dub.
• The second time everyone wakes up from Jigglypuff's song, Alanna's face scribbles change. She has a circle around her left eye in one shot, and a sun around her right in another.

Dub edits

• The Trick Master is called the King of Tricks in the dub.
