Trivia
- This is the last episode to use hand-colored cel animation.
- This episode is probably based on the legend of the Sword in the Stone, in which many knights tried to draw a magical sword from an anvil, but only one, Arthur, succeeded and became King. Additionally, the Slowpoke that becomes Slowking is named Arthur.
- Brock is shown with "open" eyes for the first time.
Errors
- When told that no one knew that the King's Rock existed, the group forgot that one was just used to evolve Misty's Poliwhirl 12 episodes before.
- Team Rocket blasts off twice, but at the second time, a strip-repeat was evident; in the first blast off Jessie's Arbok and James's Weezing were outside of their Poké Balls, while the second time, despite neither being out, both are there.
