Trivia

• Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster: Gogoat
• Bonnie narrates the preview and says "Everyone, keep Pokémon!" phrase for the next episode alone, while Ash reads the title card.
  • Just like in Kindergarten Chaos!, A Slippery Encounter!, and Beyond the Rainbow!, at the end of the preview, Bonnie says "Everyone, keep Pokémon!" instead of Ash saying his "Everyone, get Pokémon!" phrase.
• This was Mariya Ise's final episode as Bonnie before starting maternity leave from the show.^{[citation needed]}
• This episode is similar to Freeze Frame, which aired 695 episodes ago, where a friend of the group whose hobby is to take photographs of Pokémon, attempts to take a picture of one of the Legendary birds.
• Brilliantly is used as an insert song when Ash's Fletchinder evolves into a Talonflame.

Errors

• When Ash grabs his Talonflame while falling down into a volcano together, the yellow mark on Talonflame's right eye is missing.
