Trivia

• Poké Problem: Who is the favorite to win the Alola League in today's episode?
  • Host: James
  • Choices: Ilima, Jessie, Faba, Ash
  • Answer: Ilima
• The narrator reads out the title card for this episode.
• This episode begins the Manalo Conference arc.
• Type: Wild replaces Notebook of the Heart as the ending theme.
• The Manalo Conference having a total of 151 competitors could be a reference to the original 151 Pokémon of Generation I.
• This episode marks the first appearance of a Pineco in the anime since its cameo in Bucking The Treasure Trend!, 421 episodes earlier.
  • This episode also marks the first appearance of a Tropius in the anime since its cameo in Zoroark: Master of Illusions, almost nine years earlier.
• This episode marks the first time Sophocles's Togedemaru has used a move other than Zing Zap.
  • This is also the first time shes uses a new move since The Guardian’s Challenge 127 episodes ago, which makes it the longest for any main character's Pokémon, other than Ash's, to use a new move within a series.
• Jessie and James's disguises reference Sina and Dexio's outfits from the Generation VII games.
  • James's disguise shirt has a Chimecho silhouette on it, likely a reference to the Chimecho he owned during the Advanced Generation series.
• This episode show's that a Pokémon can use a move while still inside its Poké Ball, as Jessie's Mimikyu is still using Shadow Claw despite Jessie recalling it into its Luxury Ball.
• Ulu, Mallow, and Tsareena narrate the preview for the next episode.
