Trivia

• When Wobbuffet pops out of its Poké Ball while Team Rocket is talking about capturing the Rhydon, Jessie says that it's too bad they can't just make a trade. This is most likely a reference to the fact that she received Wobbuffet from a trade.
• This episode marks the first use of Iron Tail in the anime. Iron Tail would go on to be one of the most commonly used attacks in the series, known by over fifty separate Pokémon as the anime has progressed (with one of the Pokémon knowing the move being Ash's Pikachu).
