* Arven's statement that spicy food flushes out toxin from the body via sweat is [[ArtisticLicenseMedicine a long-since-disproven myth.]] This is not a case of Arven not doing his research: Take note that he reads that information in Scarlet/Violet book, whose contents were first written centuries ago, before the sweat myth was scientifically disproven. The fault thus lies in the book not being republished with newer findings and thus containing several cases of out-of-date information.

* Larry could be interpreted as a GoodCounterpart to Giovanni. They are both middle-aged men with short dark hair who wear business suits, and they are both intended to be surprise gym leaders, with Giovanni's name not being on the Viridian Gym's sign and Larry's face portrait being of the back of his head. They are also both supposed to be more cynical adults compared to the younger player characters (with Giovanni this is most notable in Origins from what I remember). However, in other ways they are opposites, because Larry not only isn't evil, but he also is an overworked employee as opposed to Giovanni being a mob boss. They even have this dynamic with their preferred Pokemon types. Larry prefers Normal types but uses Flying as his secondary type, while Giovanni prefers Ground types but also has notable Normal type Pokemon like Persian (as shown in that card) and Kangaskhan. Larry's Flying types even are immune to Ground type attacks, so if they battled, he would probably have the type advantage.

** Brassius's Sudowoodo is the most straightforward; Sudowoodo look like, and pretend to be, actual trees, therefore it becomes a Grass-type.

* In-game, all of the Loyal Three are strong against Grass-type Pokémon due to being Poison-types, and Ogerpon's natural movepool consists mostly of Grass and Fighting moves, which Poison-types resist. Furthermore, Ogerpon only fought the Loyal Three ''after'' they stole the Wellspring, Hearthflame, and Cornerstone Masks, so Ogerpon couldn't have used a non-Grass-type Ivy Cudgel against them. So how did Ogerpon beat the Loyal Three? Well, she ''does'' have access to Leech Seed, Synthesis, and Spiky Shield in her level-up movepool, so she could have outlasted them, but given that Toxic Chain would make the Loyal Three better {{Gradual Grinder}}s than Ogerpon, all three can hit her with super-effective Poison STAB moves, and the accounts of the battle we're given in-game paint a picture of Ogerpon beating the Loyal Three to a pulp rather than slowly draining and parrying them to death, this probably isn't how it went down. In terms of direct offense, however, Ogerpon does have a handful of Normal-type moves (Quick Attack, Retaliate, and Slam) and one Dark-type move (Throat Chop) early on in her movepool. She could have relied on those moves, and [[SquishyWizard Munkidori]] (a Psychic-type, which is weak to Dark-type moves) would have quickly fallen to Ogerpon's physical might (particularly if she used Throat Chop on it), but Okidogi and Fezandipiti are Fighting- and Fairy-type, respectively, meaning that they ''resist'' Dark and would still have given Ogerpon a very hard time. However, Ogerpon is also stated to have had a human companion and close friend, who the Loyal Three implicitly killed, which is what drove Ogerpon on her RoaringRampageOfRevenge. It's possible that said human companion taught Ogerpon [[PsychicPowers Zen Headbutt]] or [[DishingOutDirt Stomping Tantrum]] (which she can learn by TM) in order to help her defend herself against Poison-types, and indeed, she could have used either of those moves to swiftly bring Okidogi and Fezandipiti down[[note]]Okidogi is 4x weak to Psychic, so Zen Headbutt could easily overcome its decent Defense stat, and Fezandipiti's stat spread is more of a MageKiller than a physical brawler, so Ogerpon would have a statistical advantage in a straight-up physical brawl and could use either Zen Headbutt or Stomping Tantrum to good effect[[/note]]. If Ogerpon used a move that her human companion taught her in order to avenge his demise at the hands of the Loyal Three, that would make her victory against them [[KarmicDeath all the sweeter]].

* Miriam's ace being Toxapex actually makes sense given that she's a medical staff, a profession who regularly deals with health and sickness in most cases, and even life and death in more serious cases. Toxapex is Water/Poison, water representing life and health (remember to always drink water, people), while poison representing sickness which may bring death if not treated. Or to put it in another way, as a medical staff she's well-versed in health (Water) and sickness (Poison). The reason she terastalizes her Toxapex into Poison-type is that she does so in a friendly match, and thus she wants to take down her opponent with Poison instead of healing them with Water for that situation only.

* Ryme and Grusha's conversation in ''The Indigo Disk'' revolves around a sushi restaurant that becomes notorious for making its visitors sick. Among the many seafood present in Japanese cuisine, one, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugu fugu]] (or in the Pokémon world, raw Qwilfish meat), is particularly infamous for being ''lethal'' if improperly prepared, suggesting that ''that'' of all things on the menu.

This likely means said restaurant has something like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugu fugu/pufferfish]] in the menu, given that out of all kinds of Japanese seafood, fugu is particularly infamous for being ''lethal'' if improperly prepared.

** Eri is described as a very caring person who puts others' needs before her, so she naturally uses Heal Balls.
