Trivia

The reference to Titanic

• Poké Problem: What Pokémon will I battle in today's episode?
  • Host: Lana
  • Choices: Solo and School Form Wishiwashi, Palossand, Bewear, Gumshoos
  • Answer: Wishiwashi
• Jessie and Meowth reuse the same lures they used in The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!.
• Popplio holding onto Pikachu while on the fishing boat may be a reference to a similar scene from the film Titanic.
• This episode marks the first time Mega Evolution is referenced in the anime since the end of the XY series.
• Pikachu, Ash, Sophocles, Kiawe, Mallow, Lillie, Lana, and an Alolan Marowak narrate the preview for the next episode.

Errors

• During the Titanic reference, when the camera shows Pikachu's mouth, he's talking but his lips do not move until the very end.
