Trivia

• Get Inspired! Let's Solve a Poké Riddle!!: Wailord
• Team Rocket reads out the title card for this episode.
• This episode premiered the same day Pokémon Legends: Arceus was released.
• This episode marks the first appearance of Butch and Cassidy in the anime since Sleight of Sand!, 649 episodes earlier.
• The wooden carvings in Cassidy's house are based on the Pokémon she used during the course of the anime.
• Team Rocket as a whole blasts off three times in this episode, while Jessie and Wobbuffet blast off four times.
• This is one of the rare times where Team Rocket has willingly wanted to be blasted off.
• Meowth's Ballad and Team Rocket's Team Song are used as insert songs in this episode.
  • This episode also marks the first time in Pokémon Journeys: The Series that a theme song from a past series is used as an insert song in an episode.

Errors

• When Cinderace and Lucario use Pyro Ball and Aura Sphere, respectively, Slaking is in front of Team Rocket despite returning to its Poké Ball in the previous scene.
• When Swablu uses Dragon Breath to blast off Team Rocket the second time, the Wobballoon and Pelipper are above the clouds. However, they were below the clouds in previous scenes.
