• The ribbon that Serena uses to decorate Braixen's new wand was first shown in Roaring All-Stars.

Errors

• Right before Braixen was hit by Pancham's Stone Edge, she was facing the attack. When she got hit, she was facing away from it.

Dub edits

• The title card segment focuses on, and is read by, Ash in the dub instead of Serena.
