* HoistByHisOwnPetard:

** Igglybuff makes the ''VideoGame/{{Roblox}}'' "oof" sound effect when it bounces off things again.

** It's a reference to how Elekid's evolution, Electivire, created a similar but larger scale storm in the first Battle Royale.

* NormalFishInATinyPond: Riolu's Pokédex entry — describing it able to cover vast expanses of difficult terrain in just one night — in most cases doesn't amount to much. But seeing as how just about every other baby Pokémon's Pokédex entry highlights some deficiency (such as Pichu hurting itself) or simply describing their basic appearance, that still puts Riolu far above everyone else. Even in crunch this is the case too, as Riolu is one of the few baby Pokemon that can comfortably fight non-baby Pokémon. Thus, it's no surprise that it easily wins the battle royale.

* ObligatoryJoke: Wynaut and Muchlax's dispute over a pineapple ends with Wynaut giving the fruit to Muchlax, sighing, and saying the entirety of its name, homophonous with "why not?". Canned laugher plays afterward.

** The defeats of Mime Jr., Azurill, Happiny, and Smoochum are never shown. In the case of the latter three, Lockstin's commentary video implies at least one of them met a similar fate to Elekid and were beaten up by Riolu and Mime Jr.

** Among the many things Munchlax eats are the main characters of ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'', a yellow ''[[{{Videogame/Pikmin}} Pikmin]]'', a box of [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scooby Snacks]], a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros power-up mushroom]] that yells like Toad does in ''VideoGame/MarioKart64'', a [[Franchise/TrollDolls Troll doll]], a Rubik's cube, and toys of [[VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG Geno]] and a [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe Minion]].

* OddballInTheSeries: ''Baby Pokemon Battle Royale'' is the only Pokémon Battle Royale video that doesn’t use the stock “island with city” setting as the battle’s location, nor is Professor Oak’s lab the setting of the FramingDevice. [[spoiler:This is because it’s the only installment that doesn’t take place in a simulation on a computer in Oak’s lab, instead taking place at a Daycare in the imaginations of the baby Pokémon]].

** It also is a reference to the Pikachu short, ''Pikachu's Rescue Adventure'', which had Ash's Pikachu and an Elekid combing their powers to fend off multiple lightning strikes.

* MythologyGag: Elekid and Pichu combining their electricity to create a lightning storm, references the Pikachu short, ''Pikachu's Rescue Adventure'', which had Ash's Pikachu and an Elekid combing their powers to fend off a lightning storm.

* CriticalStatusBuff: Riolu deliberately lets itself take damage from [[spoiler: Wynaut’s Counter]] in order to make its own attacks strong enough to bypass the move entirely.

* HyperDestructiveBouncingBall: Igglybuff gets hit by Chingling rebounding off a wall, sending it bouncing toward a grove of trees. It gains enough speed from ricocheting between the trees that it gets launched into space, hitting a satellite Cleffa was sitting on in its way out. [[spoiler: In TheStinger, it's now bouncing between planets in the galaxy.]]

** Igglybuff makes the ''{{VideoGame/Roblox}}'' "oof" sound effect when it bounces off things again.

* TheStinger: [[spoiler: Igglybuff is bouncing off planets in the wider galaxy.]]

* VictoryFakeout: The victory music plays ''twice'', only for it to cut out as the apparent victor realizes another Pokémon survived. The first time, [[spoiler: Cleffa crawls out of the crater it made]]. The second time, [[spoiler: Wynaut pops out from under some rubble]].

** Around a minute in, Chingling crashes into Elekid's horns, keeps going, and doesn't appear again. Every other Pokemon is either already dead by the time the thunderstorm and volcano appear or gets shown dealing with the havoc they cause, but the Bell Pokemon's fate after it zooms offscreen is unclear.

** Riolu and Mime Jr. are briefly drawn as if they were ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure JoJo]]'' characters.

* ProductionForeshadowing: A Ditto can be seen throwing up an egg at the end of the video. A few months after this video's release, TerminalMontage would release a music video titled "Ditto's Daycare Dance". The Ditto in that video produces eggs in several ways, including throwing them up.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Around a minute in, Chingling crashes into Elekid's horns, keeps going, and doesn't appear again. Every other Pokemon is either already dead by the time the thunderstorm and volcano appear or gets shown dealing with the havoc they cause, but the Bell Pokemon's fate after it zooms offscreen is unclear.

* FreezeFrameBonus: When lightning strikes near Happiny, "I need my EGG" briefly pops up next to it.

* VocalDissonance: Happiny, a species that can only be female, uses a voice clip of Louis from ''VideoGame/Left4Dead''.

** Riolu's winning move [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann is creating a giant drill out of Aura to strike Wynaut]].

* VocalDissonance: Happiny, a species that can only be female, uses a voice clip of Louis from [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Left 4 Dead]].
