• Axew (Iris's)

Trivia

• Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster: Deerling
• Stephan is the first character to break the fourth wall in the Best Wishes series, doing so at the end of the episode when he tells the narrator that he's spelling his name wrong.

Errors

• Sawk's forehead appears larger than normal in one scene.
• The stand that Stephan and Sawk were standing on after he won the Donamite tournament appeared to be big enough only to hold two people while Don George and Freddy O'Martian stood on the ground next to the stand. As the camera pans out giving a full view of the battle field, however, the stand is dramatically larger, appearing like stage, and Don George and Freddy are standing on it along with Stephan and Sawk.
