Trivia

• This is the last episode where Megan Hollingshead plays Nurse Joy.
• For reasons unknown, this episode, as well as A Different Kind Of Misty, A Pokéblock Party, and Watt's With Wattson? aired only twice on American TV. These may be classified as the lost TV episodes since Pokémon Advanced underwent a three month hiatus on Kids' WB!. They can still be obtained on Volume 8 of the Advanced DVD and the Advanced DVD Box Set. Has been played once more on Cartoon Network's Pokémon Episodes that are new to the network in the summer of 2008.

Errors

• Throughout the episode, an attack that involved a shiny blue powder that made things fall asleep was referred to as Stun Spore. This attack was obviously Sleep Powder.
  • However, Shiftry can't learn either Sleep Powder or Stun Spore.
• When Ash's Taillow uses Wing Attack on wild Nuzleaf, its wings are not glowing.
• When the group watches the security camera footage and first see Nurse Joy, the window and curtains disappear. They reappear in the later scenes. Also, when Nurse Joy checks the window in the security camera footage, it was wide open. However, at the beginning of the episode, the window was only slightly open.
