Trivia
- This episode has a similar premise to the episode Wings n' Things, though in that episode the younger Trainer wanted to recapture Yanma.
- This is one of the very few episodes in which Team Rocket successfully capture a Pokemon for Giovanni, although he sends it back to them. However, Yanma was a wild Pokemon at the time of capture, so it hadn't been stolen.
- Jessie capturing Yanma after someone else weakened it echoes how she captured her Shellder (although in that case, it was James and his Weezing that weakened the Pokémon).
- Yanma is captured and evolves in this episode. The only other main character's Pokémon to do this is Ash's Caterpie, who is referenced by Ash in this episode.
