Trivia

• Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster: Aurorus
  • For the TV Tokyo airing, instead of the Pokémon Holo Caster segment, the Mairin's Mega Evolution Corner about Mega Sceptile was shown.
• This is the first Tag Battle in the anime to be a Triple Battle.
• This is the first time the Pokémon Quiz segment features human characters (in this case, Team Rocket) rather than a Pokémon.
  • This is also the first time since EP161 that an eyecatch relating to a guessing game featured a human character.
• Korrina and Ash narrate the preview for the next episode.

Errors

• The point rating system used during the Pokémon Summer Camp continues to be inconsisent with the points seen being given on screen. Before the Team Battle tournament, Professor Sycamore states the highest ranked teams are Team Froakie, consisting of Ash and his friends, and Team Squirtle, consisting of Tierno, Trevor and Shauna, with both teams having 13 poitns. However, in the previous episodes of this arc Team Chikorita was shown to have obtained at least 24 points (which would mean that, even though Team Froakie won the last activity, winning 10 points and as such the whole Pokémon Summer Camp, they would still have one point less than Team Chikorita). Also before the Team Battle tournament, Team Charmander was shown to have obtained at least 13 points, the same amount as Team Froakie and Team Squirtle, yet they weren't said to be tied with them.
