Errors

• During the montage showing the remaining Pokémon Performers's performances, there was a segment featuring a Swirlix, a Sylveon, and a Swanna. When they were being judged to see who would move on, Swirlix was to the left, Sylveon was in the middle, and Swanna was to the right. When the Performer with the Sylveon was revealed to have won, Swirlix and Swanna (along with their trainers) swapped places.
