* FatalFlaw: As this episode demonstrates, Goh's inability to work with others winds up costing him here. He can work with Ash just fine, but because he can't stand Gary mocking his own flaws to his face, he mostly sticks it out on his own and tries winning the raid battle largely by himself. They wind up losing it, and Goh is only given the basic three tokens, while Gary and Horace get an extra for leadership and support respectively.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In ''VideoGame/PokemonGo'', Articuno is one of several difficult raid battles that typically requires several players to even stand a chance against it. The episode plays out like a battle would with a minimal party of four, as the Legendary Bird is able to wipe the floor with Ash, Goh, Gary, and Horace in spite of taking several super effective attacks.



* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: All the other Project Mew challengers besides Goh, Gary, and Horace either got too exhausted or lost trying to find Articuno, and decide to stop for their own sakes.
