Trivia

• Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster: Meowstic
  • Instead of Pokémon Holo Caster, Hoopa pops out to announce the viewers to get the legendary Pokémon giveaways and the tickets for the movie.
• Clemont and Serena narrate the preview for the next episode.
  • Just like in Seeking Shelter From the Storm! and The Cave of Mirrors!, no background music plays during the preview.
• The opening animation is updated to remove Ash's Sliggoo (whose spot in his roster is taken up by a Noibat) and includes a new variation of scenes with the Gym Leaders Ramos, Valerie and Olympia, Ash meeting Alain, a Noibat flying around before falling to the ground and then crying and Serena with her Braixen and Pancham, watching an Eevee dancing on a rocky platform at night.
• This episode shares many similarities to Bound For Trouble. Both episodes involve:
  • Meowth being tied up with someone else.
  • Meowth sharing food with someone else after being attacked.
  • Meowth and someone else running away from wild Pokémon.
  • Meowth getting shocked by an Electric-type attack while being tied up.

Errors

• When the Pangoro are attacking for the fifth time, Ash's Fletchinder is gone.
• In several scenes, Pangoro's claws on their paws and feet are colored the same as their feet.
• When Bonnie and Meowth are falling down to the horde of Foongus, the Poké Ball pattern on several Foongus' heads are completely swapped backwards.

• 

  Several Foongus' heads pattern error

• 

  The claws on Pangoro's feet are the same colour as its feet
