Trivia

• Poké TV: "Poké Love TV" Focusing on Abomasnow.
• This episode is the first time since Just One of the Geysers where Ash uses a different line-up of Pokémon in a rematch against a Gym Leader. In this case, he substitutes his Hawlucha for Pikachu.
• Clemont's Dedenne, Ash, Bonnie, and Clemont narrate the preview for the next episode.
  • At the end of the preview, Ash and Bonnie say the catchphrase "Everyone, keep Pokémon!", with Bonnie saying the "keep" part and Ash saying the rest, instead of Ash saying his "Everyone, get Pokémon!" phrase.

Errors

• Bonnie is missing her ponytail on multiple occasions.
  • Once when Ash and his friends arrive at the gym as the doors open.
    • In the same shot, the space between Pikachu and Serena's head is colored the same as Pikachu, making it seem as if his head were larger.
  • As Ash and his friends walk into the gym and again when Wulfric speaks to Ash before the battle starts.
  • After Ash's Greninja transforms into Ash-Greninja.
• Throughout the episode, Clemont's Dedenne appears to be much larger than usual.
