Trivia
- Poké TV: "Burn! Pokémon Challenge!!" focusing on Ash's Greninja in its Ash-Greninja form.
- The English dub was released on iTunes and Amazon Video on January 1, 2017, thirteen days before the episode aired in the United States. The same occurred for all episodes in Volume 4 of Pokémon the Series: XYZ that aired after an all-day marathon of Teen Titans Go! on November 26, 2016, and before January 11, 2017, when the error was fixed (The Right Hero for the Right Job! through Till We Compete Again!).
- However, the episode was pulled from iTunes and Amazon on January 11, 2017, although those who had already purchased and downloaded the episode could still view it. It was later released again on iTunes and Amazon on January 15, 2017, the day it was supposed to be released.
- This episode was followed by a preview for the Sun & Moon series.
- Meowth's Ballad is used as the ending theme for this episode.
- In this episode, a piano version of Puni-chan's Song is used when Bonnie sees Squishy again.
- This is the first time a main character has released a regional starter Pokémon.
- This is also the first time where a main character has released two Pokémon in the same episode.
- Bonnie's promise to reunite with Squishy when she becomes a Trainer is similar to the promise that Max made to Ralts back in Do I Hear a Ralts?.
Errors
- After Greninja accepts Squishy's offer, its eyelids are blue instead of black like they're supposed to be in its Ash-Greninja form.
Dub edits
- The Ash-Greninja theme is replaced by an instrumental version of Stand Tall.
