Trivia
The test:
- What is the evolved form of Slowpoke's move learnt at level 46?
- Answer: Amnesia
- Identify the silhouette
- Answer: an Aipom's tail.
- Create a poem about Wobbuffet

- The dub title is mostly considered by fans to be a spoof off Eminem's hit song The Real Slim Shady, however the line actually originated from a classic game show called To Tell The Truth in which a similar line was said during the show. It is not known whether it is the former, or the latter, that the pun is based off of, however it's most likely the former.
Errors
When the silhouette of an Aipom's tail appears on screen. Misty refers this being similar to an eariler episode The Ultimate Test. However she states that it might be like the time they saw a Jigglypuff seen from beneath when in The Ultimate Test, it was really shown from above.
