Trivia
- Since Ash registered Dewgong underwater, the Pokédex is apparently waterproof.
- This is the first episode in the Japanese version to feature Oak's Pokémon Lecture, which would last until mid-Advanced Generation then start again in the early Diamond and Pearl series.
- It is shown that Arbok can swim without air but Weezing is less dense than water, causing it to float.
