Trivia

• Poké TV: "Poké Love TV" focusing on Mega Blastoise.
  • This was skipped in the initial broadcast airing, for a Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster which focused on Volcanion and information on the third XY series movie.
• Ash and Sawyer read the title card in the Japanese version. They also narrate the preview of the next episode together.
• Squishy did not make an appearance in this episode.
• This marks the first time a Pokémon Ash had previously released rejoins his team.
• As of this episode, all Pokémon introduced in Generation VI have appeared in the main series, except Legendary and Mythical Pokémon.
• The battlefield for Astrid and Ash's battle was a cityscape, which may be a reference to their previous battle in Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction.

Errors

• When Astrid tells her Absol to use Psycho Cut, it is shown as a regular Absol, but seconds later, when Hawlucha attacks it, it is shown as a Mega Absol. This is likely due to the fact that the animation in the shot where Astrid tells her Absol to attack was taken directly from Mega Evolution Special I, where Absol was in its regular form while using the move.
• When Tierno sends out Raichu, its nose is smaller than normal.
• Shortly after Tierno sends out Raichu for the second time, the back of Raichu's right ear is completely yellow instead of brown.
