Trivia
- The way Shelmet and Karrablast evolve sounds near similar to another method of evolution explained in IL066: The Evolution Solution.
- Karrablast would use the shell Shelmet discards as armor as an Escavalier, whereas, as an Accelgor, Shelmet would gain incredible speed from not carrying the shell anymore.
- Bianca had the same problem that Ash had with his Charmeleon in IL044: The Problem with Paras and Dawn had with Piloswine (which now evolved into Mamoswine) in DP106: A Breed Stampede! : Her newly evolved Escaviler had gone beserk and wouldn't obey her.
- Cedric Juniper did not appear until the end of the episode.
- This is the first episode to depict an evolution by trading.
- This is the second time Ash looked up Shelmet on the Pokedex since it's debut in BW051: Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!.
- This is the second time Ash looked up on a pokemon in its final evolved form on the Pokedex since BW018: Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest
- This is the second time a person looked up Accelgor on the Pokedex. First was Ash he looked up in BW059: The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue! when one Accelgor is with a partner name Charles back in Driftveil City.
- This is the second time Ash and Cilan are put in a Pokemon Tag Battle since BW053: Lost at the Stamp Rally! when they both battle against Ingo and Emmet: The Subway Bosses of Nimbasa City and lost. This time, they win against Professor Juniper and Bianca.
- This is the second time the soundtrack opening title of Arceus and the Jewel of Life is used when Ash and co. are about to have a Tag Battle. First was BW064: Crisis at Chargestone Cave!.
- This is the third consecutive episode to feature the evolution of a main or recurring character's Pokemon, with Bianca's newly-traded Karrablast evolving into Escavalier.
- This is also the second consecutive episode to feature the evolution of a main or recurring character's Bug-type Pokemon (Cilan's Dwebble evolved in the last episode).
