Trivia

• Music from Genesect and the Legend Awakened is used in this episode.
• If the player has Steven's Shiny Beldum, Steven Stone makes a nod to Alain and this episode during the Delta Episode in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, mentioning an occasion, a long time ago, when he had the chance to meet and battle Rayquaza alongside a young Trainer who used a black Charizard.

Errors

• Both times when Steven called out his Shiny Metagross, it didn't sparkle when it came out of its Poké Ball.
• When Mega Metagross's Flash Cannon lowered Mega Charizard X's Special Defense, Steven said it lowered Mega Charizard X's stamina.
