* Accidentally-CorrectWriting: Duplica refers to Sludge as a Special attack, successfully countering it with Mirror Coat, despite Poison being a Physical type. Two generations later, the Physical/Special split would indeed make Sludge a Special move, making Duplica's assessment accurate.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Upon seeing Mini-Dit, Misty comments that Duplica catches "the weirdest, wackiest, most abnormal Pokémon ever". Duplica and Mini-Dit understandably take this badly and get sad, and Brock has to quickly inform Misty that her word choice wasn't the greatest.

* FunSize: Unlike a regular Ditto, MiniDit doesn't change size when it copies a Pokemon and even when it transforms into an Onix, it can still be held in Misty's arm. The result is strangely cute.

* DamageTyping: The central plot point of the final conflict. Duplica has her Dittos imitate Jessie's Wobbuffet, and explains how it can counter both physical and special attacks using Counter and Mirror Coat respectively. This is Jessie's introduction to the second move, and [[CentipedeDilemma her inexperience in distinguishing when to use each]] causes her defeat.

Stopping off at a Pokécenter, the gang looks around for Nurse Joy. Suddenly she appears with Chansey, but makes the confusing statement Nurse Joy is seeing a patient. Brock nears the Joy-look-alike and reveals it isn't Nurse Joy and Chansey at all, but Duplica and her Ditto! Our heroes find out the real Nurse Joy is checking on Duplica's newest Pokémon, Mini-dit. Though there's nothing wrong with Mini-dit, it retains it's pint size, even when Transforming into large Pokémon. Be sure to watch for a teeny Arbok, an undersized Ursaring and a wee Wobbuffet. Although it may be small, this puny Pokémon can sure pack a wallop!
