Trivia

• The first eyecatch of this episode features Orla and her Metagross, while the second features Roy and his Fuecoco.
• The preview trailer for this episode was accidentally posted two days early on the official Pokémon Anime Twitter. This was later followed with an apology.^[1]
• Prior to the episode's airing, Liko's voice actress, Minori Suzuki, confirmed in an interview that Orla would have an episode focused on her.^[2]
• Despite having debuted in Dig Those Diglett!, 1,230 episodes earlier, and made regular appearances throughout the original series as one of James's Pokémon, this episode marks the first time Weezing has received a Pokédex entry in the anime.
