Trivia

  • Because of Ash's sensitivity to Aura, which was first introduced in Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, he is able to sense Riolu from far distances.
  • Solana has a different uniform than the one she had in her past appearances.
  • For an unknown reason, Plusle is not seen with Solana.
  • This is the second dubbed TV episode to not only retain all of its Japanese background music, but also use no American-made music (unless one counts The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon as a dubbed TV episode).
  • Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture: Capture Styler
