Trivia

• Tracey's capture of Scyther marks the first and only time that he is seen capturing a Pokémon in the anime.
• Professor Oak's lecture: Ekans, Oak discusses Ekans' ability to sense temperature and swallow prey ten times its own size whole. Oak tries to feed an Ekans some Pokémon food, but gets swallowed whole.
• Pokémon senryu summary: Swallowing whole, strong-stomached Ekans.
• Starting from this episode Rikako Aikawa takes over as James's Victreebel screams
• Ash decided to catch a Caterpie in this episode but was quickly dragged off by Misty, which was the only time where he wanted to catch a Pokémon from the same species that he had successfully caught before.

Errors

• In the Pokédex picture of Scyther, it shows that it has a third wing on its right side when it should be just two on each side. This made that Scyther have a total of five wings.
• When Tracey explains how well Venonat and Marill work as a team, Misty comments "At least they're not Bug-types." This is untrue in the sense that Venonat is indeed a Bug-type.
• In the English dub Jessie tells Arbok to use "Poison Needle" rather than Poison Sting. Coincidently, "Poison Needle" is actually the translation of どくばり, the Japanese name of Poison Sting.
