This episode contains examples of the following tropes:

The Bus Came Back: Charizard, if only for the Battle Factory match.
Drives Like Crazy: After getting lost for the umpteenth time, Scott decides to show up and take the kids to the Battle Factory himself. Ash and company really should have reconsidered...
Foreshadowing: As Noland demonstrates his flying (with Max and Pikachu aboard his plane), Ash takes off for a moment. When Brock asks him where he ran off to, Ash said he had to make a phone call.
Fun with Acronyms: James and Meowth christen their Humongous Mecha's limbs with an Overly Long Name that, an embarrassed Jessie points out, spells GAGME.
Mythology Gag: Meowth offhandedly suggests that they steal machine parts from the Battle Factory, especially considering how, in this adaptation, the Battle Factory is located close to Cerulean City.
Overused Running Gag: May flinches in bemusement when she sees Charizard's usual greeting for his trainer. This, along with Max's statement, implies that they have personally met Charizard before.
