Trivia
- Mairin's Mega Evolution Journal: Mega Metagross
- The next episode preview is narrated by Clemont, Bonnie, and Ash.
- This is the first episode to show Korrina's Lucario in its Poké Ball.
- This is the first time where Focus Blast was not portrayed as a light blue ball of energy. Korrina's Machoke's Focus Blast was instead portrayed as a glowing bright yellow ball of energy, making it identical to how it is portrayed in the games.
- Right before Korrina Mega Evolves her Lucario, she poses and says, "命 爆発 Life Explosion", spelling the kanji on-screen as well. This is a line taken directly from the games, which she says before the player battles her at the Tower of Mastery. This scene also marks one of the very rare instances, and the first time in the XY series, that Japanese text can be seen.
Errors
- Ash's Hawlucha took damage from Mega Lucario's Bone Rush despite being immune to Ground moves.
- When Pikachu discharges electricity after Ash asks him if he can get up, Gurkinn isn't present when the camera moves behind Korrina to show the entire field.
