Trivia
- Instead of Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture, the end of this episode featured a special trailer for Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin.
- Music from Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea is used as background music.
- Dawn narrates the next episode preview.
- During the Diamond & Pearl series, Ash, Dawn, and Brock each have owned a Generation II Pokémon, however, this episode, before Gligar evolved, and the previous episode, after Swinub was captured, are the only times in the series in which all three have a Generation II Pokémon with them, Ash with Gligar, Dawn with Swinub, and Brock with Sudowoodo.
- This is the second time that Gary appears in Sinnoh, the first time being exactly 40 episodes ago. Coincidentally, both times Ash and his friends were in the way to Hearthome City.
- This episode first aired in Japan in the same week as the dub of Riding the Winds of Change, the episode in which Gligar was caught, first aired in the US.
