Trivia

File:Title Card XY Ash V2.png
The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode

Errors

  • When Serena, Bonnie and Mairin run closer to the Megalith Zygarde, Serena's Pancham and Sylveon can be heard but their mouths don't move.
  • Shortly after Ash and Alain enter the Megalith Zygarde, Alain isn't wearing his Mega Ring.
  • This episode states that all of the Zygarde Cores and Cells from across the world are required in order to achieve Complete Forme. However, in the movie Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel, Squishy was able to assume Complete Forme without all of them, albeit temporarily.
