Trivia

Mega Study with Instructor Starmie: Rayquaza
- Choices: Berry, Meteorite, Charcoal
- Answer: Meteorite
For the initial airing of this episode, Mega Study with Instructor Starmie was replaced by a special preview for the next episode, which was later uploaded to the official Japanese YouTube channel.
The first eyecatch features Wy-Yes and his Wynaut, and the second features Dot, with her Quaquaval, Tinkaton, and Gholdengo.
This episode marks the first physical appearance of an Illumise since Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
The device that Wy-Yes uses to attract Mega Rayquaza is the same as the resonance generator used by the Explorers in The Plan to Capture Rayquaza.
Quaquaval, Tinkaton, Dot, Liko, and Professor Neroli narrate the preview for the next episode.
