Trivia

• Poké Problem: "Which is the Masked Royal's partner Pokémon in today's episode?"
  • Host: Ash
  • Choices: Primarina, Incineroar, Decidueye, Machamp
  • Answer: Incineroar
• Alola!! is used as an insert song during Litten's training montage.
• The Champion battle music from Pokémon Sun and Moon is heard during Ash and the Masked Royal's battle.
• This is the third time that Ash's fire-type Pokémon in its basic stage evolves while battling its final stage. The same happen to Ash's Tepig in Evolution by Fire! and Fletchling in Battles in the Sky!.
  • Unlike every other evolution sequence, Litten doesn't glow whilst evolving, instead it is covered a red flame, with some parts of its body glowing in a purple aura before they've finished transforming.
• The ending animation is updated to include Ash's Torracat.
• Professor Kukui, Mallow, a Passimian, Lana, Kiawe, Lillie, and Sophocles narrate the preview for the next episode.

Errors

• During the training montage, when Litten coughed up a flame after attempting to use Flame Charge, it hit Ash on his rear despite him facing towards Litten.
