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. It also happens with James's second Victreebel however the pokémon in question was then released.
  • Two background tracks from Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea are used as music for this episode.
  • This episode one of the few episodes since its capture in which Jessie's Wobbuffet does not appear.
  • During the second encounter with Team Rocket, Face Forward Team Rocket! was played.
