* MythologyGag:
** Cynthia has a Togekiss on her team, like in ''Platinum''.
** Ash losing half his team while Cynthia only loses two is how Ash's battle with Katie in the Hoenn League played out, and likewise Pikachu falls to a last-minute Destiny Bond just like how Ash's Glalie was beaten.

* CallBack: Ash has Pikachu use the counter shield technique he developed when traveling through Sinnoh to stop Spiritomb's Hypnosis which had caused problems prior to his other pokemon and damages the ghost pokemon heavily with it, Cynthia then remembers Ash using the technique in the Sinnoh League after he brings up this up (as she had initially assumed Pikachu was simply dancing for victory prematurely until she realized what was truly going on), the counter shield's usage also impresses Leon as he would go on to borrow and use it later during his match with Ash.

* TheWorfEffect: Oh boy, do Dragonite and Gengar get hit ''hard'' by this in the episode. Both put up a valiant effort, but they get utterly demolished by Cynthia's team. Dragonite is rendered helpless by Spiritomb using Hypnosis and Dream Eater, and Spiritomb's Sucker Punch hits Gengar with one shot.

!This episode contains the following tropes:
* BatmanGambit: Cynthia's ploy was to put Ash into a corner by forcing him to call in Pikachu, randomly switching out between her Spiritomb and the rest of her team to keep him off balance just enough before he switched in his ace. Once Pikachu was in the right position, her Spiritomb would use Destiny Bond to KO the electric mouse and keep Ash from using his Z-Move, rendering the battle in Cynthia's favor.
* {{Cliffhanger}}: The episode ends with the battle halfway over, with Cynthia leading 2-3, and Ash no longer able to use Pikachu.
* CurbstompBattle: By the end of the episode, Cynthia has taken out half of Ash's team, with Gengar and Dragonite both falling rather easily to her Spiritomb.
* MythologyGag: Cynthia has a Togekiss on her team, like in ''Platinum''.
* TakingYouWithMe: Spiritomb uses Destiny Bond to immediately take out Pikachu when it goes down, leaving Ash without his ace.
* WhamLine: Cynthia reveals she's planning to retire from battling after she wins.
* TheWorfEffect: Oh boy, do Dragonite and Gengar get hit ''hard'' by this in the episode. Both put up a valiant effort, but they get utterly demolished by Cynthia's team. Dragonite is rendered helpless by Spiritomb using Hypnosis and Dream Eater, and Spiritomb's Sucker Punch hits Gengar with one shot.
