Trivia

• Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!: Haxorus
• This marks the first time:
  • a World Coronation Series participant isn’t seen with a Rotom Phone on-screen.
  • Ash has defeated a regional Champion in battle.
  • Iris's Haxorus has been seen using Outrage since learning it in Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!, 451 episodes earlier.
  • Haxorus's Poké Ball has been shown.
• This marks the first appearance of a Goodra other than the one that belonged to Ash in the anime.
• Goh's first encounter with Iris is similar to Ash's first encounter with her in Enter Iris and Axew!, where he mistakes her as a Pokémon and throws a Poké Ball at her.
• The way Ash's Dragonite learns Draco Meteor is a possible reference to Pokémon Black, where Iris can teach this same move to a Dragon-type Pokémon with a high level of friendship.
• Haxorus's method of snapping out of confusion is similar to the method used by Gladion's Lycanroc in Enter the Champion!.
• As of this episode, Goh has caught at least one Water-type Pokémon in every region.
• Ash, Goh, Goh's White Flower Flabébé, a woman, and Pikachu narrate the preview for the next episode.
