Blurb

It’s time for the Pokémon Showcase Master Class, and Serena’s friends and rivals have come to compete: Shauna, Miette, and Nini! For the first time, the performers are competing simultaneously in a Freestyle Performance, and the top vote-getter from each group of three moves on. It should be a tight competition, especially when a certain member of Team Rocket gets into the action...

Trivia

• Poké TV: "Performer News" focusing on Kalos Queen Aria and ending with a performance by Pikachu Pop Star and Pikachu, Ph. D.
• In the Japanese version, the title card segment focuses on, and is read by, Serena.
• The dub's title is a reference to the phrase "Class is in session".
• This episode shows the following flashbacks of the important moments of Serena's Pokémon Showcases journey so far.
  • Braixen as a Fennekin tripping over a ribbon from A Showcase Debut!.
  • Serena becoming a winner from Performing with Fiery Charm!.
  • Sylveon as an Eevee getting stage fright from A Performance Pop Quiz!.
  • Eevee trying to get used to being on stage from A Dancing Debut!.
  • Serena earning the third and final princess key from Master Class Choices!.
• Music from Genesect and the Legend Awakened is used in this episode during the Freestyle Performances.
• Serena narrates the preview for the next episode.
  • At the end of the preview, Serena quotes the last line of DreamDream instead of saying "Everyone, get Pokémon!" like Ash always does.

Errors

• When Shauna, Miette, and Nini appear in front of the gates to meet Serena, none of their Pokémon are present in their entrance shot, although a few shots later their Pokémon are suddenly beside them. Braixen, Pancham, and Sylveon briefly disappear when Shauna appears as well despite being on the same side of Serena.
• When the Showcase begins, Monsieur Pierre's mouth continues to move after he's finished speaking.
• When Concetta, Nini, and Jessie begin performing at the same time, Nini was moved to the left of the stage, Jessie to the center, and Concetta to the right.
• At the very end of the episode with the "To Be Continued" screen, Shauna's Flabébé disappears.

Dub edits

• In the dub, Ash reads the title card instead of Serena.
