After a lucky Fire Spin from Assist, May and Skitty win and May qualifies for the Grand Festival.

Trivia

• A part of Jessie and Erica's battle somewhat mimics May's appeal during the previous episode. Meowth, as a Sunflora, "used" Razor Leaf, which was frozen by Erica's Jynx's Blizzard. In May's appeal, she asked her Skitty to use Assist, which turned into Razor Leaf. She then asked it to use Blizzard to freeze the leaves.

Pokémon Trainer's Choice

• Question: Trainers, which Pokémon is super effective against its own type?
• Choices: Graveler, Salamence, Mudkip
• Answer: OK, trainers! If you chose Salamence, you were right!
  • While Salamence is correct, Graveler is also technically strong against its own type, due to Template:Type2 moves being good against Template:Type2s.

Errors

• May's Skitty, a Template:Type2 Pokémon, is damaged by Houndoom's Shadow Ball, which is a Template:Type2 move.
• May's Skitty, dodges Swift which in normal circumstances can not miss.
• During May and Erica's battle, camera zooms out from scoreboard several times to reveal a bit of the clock that reads less than 0:40, starting from very begin of the battle.
• After first succesful attack from Jynx (in the begin of May and Erica's battle), its health bar is not full, although Jynx not received any damage at the moment.

Dub edits

• Jynx's face was recolored.
