* CerebusRetcon: This episode reveals that Misty had a traumatic experience of nearly being eaten by a Gyarados when she was a small toddler and suffers a crippling fear of them ever since. This revelation puts new context into Misty's irrational hatred and fear towards Gyarados throughout the original series, which is notable as she would otherwise consider all Water-Type Pokémon, even the ugly ones, to be beautiful creatures.

** The Invincible Pokémon brothers pull this against Misty in both matches against her; Hitmonchan pulls a WoundedGazelleGambit only to sucker-punch Staryu when the latter tries to help it, and the other two brothers send out their own Tentacruel to dogpile on Corsola.
