• Ash and Clemont narrate the preview for the next episode.
• The opening animation is updated to include Serena with her new design, Ash's Sliggoo, Clemont's Luxray and Serena's Braixen.
  • Also, the title card is updated to include Serena with her new design.
• V (Volt) is used as an insert song during Goomy's evolution in this episode.
• This is the first time Dedenne is knocked out.
• As of this episode, it is the first time that all of Ash's Pokémon, which have the ability to evolve (except for Pikachu), are in their second stage of evolution. This has never happened in any of his previous journeys as there tends to be one Pokémon who refuses or cannot evolve yet.

Errors
