Trivia

Jessie and James's lures

• Poké Problem: What Pokémon will become a companion of Team Rocket in this episode?
• James does the Dare da? lead-out. His voice is weakened, as he is poisoned by Mareanie at that point in the episode.
• Ash, Mallow, Lillie, Lana, Sophocles, Kiawe, and Samson Oak narrate the preview for the next episode.
• Jessie and James use a Ekans and Koffing lure respectively in this episode. This is likely a reference to the Ekans and Koffing they once owned.
• Ash and his classmates wear their swimsuits throughout this episode.
• This episode reveals that Jessie does not like Matori, similar to Meowth disliking Giovanni's Persian.
• This marks the first time since the original series that Team Rocket fairly defeats Ash's whole current Pokémon party in a battle.
