Trivia

• Your Adventure replaces Future Connection as the opening theme.
• Several of the Pikachu in this episode wear hairstyles similar to the hairstyles that can be given to the starter Pokémon Pikachu and Eevee in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!
• From this episode onwards, the anime moves from its Thursday 6:55 PM timeslot to a Sunday 6:00 PM slot. This marks the first time the show has changed its airing day since returning to the air following the EP038 incident over 20 years earlier.
  • This episode, like Pikachu's Goodbye (the first episode to air after the show switched from Tuesdays to Thursdays), also concerns a valley where a large number of Pikachu live.
• The Japanese title's inclusion of "大量発生チュウ", which translates to "Infestation-chu" may be a reference to the title of the event in Japan where people in Pikachu costumes walked through the streets, "ピカチュウ大量発生チュウ", which translates to "Pikachu Infestation-chu".
• This is the first time Volt Tackle is seen in the main series anime since A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!, 359 episodes ago.
• Faba narrates the preview for the next episode.
• Bewear is confirmed to be male in this episode.
• The four move limit is acknowledged, as Ash's Pikachu is stated to be unable to use Catastropika due to no longer knowing Volt Tackle.
