This fan-game contains the following tropes:
- Assist Character:
- Each fighter has their own set of assists, three per character, which can be chosen between rounds.
- Swalot in particular has a Pinsir in itself to serve as a substitute for the "kick" attacks, because they lacks legs due to being a large Blob Monster.
- The Cameo: Among all the possible mons that'll appear at the end Swalot's Gunk Shot move, Leaf can make a rare appearance.
- Cute Monster Girl: Gardevoir, of course. Though, the various winning animations takes this trope a step further; putting her in different clothing inexplicably, including a bride outfit, nurse attire, Qipao, even sleeping garb for when she gets put to sleep.
- Giving Up the Ghost: Gengar's losing animation has a transparent ghost of Gengar, complete with angel wings, float up and away from his unconscious body, despite already being a ghost to begin with.
- Mythology Gag: This game goes above and beyond referencing various works from the Pokémon franchise.
- Completing the single player campaign features a cutscene of Dragonite meeting up with the whole cast to praise their combat prowess, having been sent by Mewtwo to search for strong Pokémon, akin to Pokémon: The First Movie with Mewtwo sending out Dragonite to deliver his tournament invitation, down to the same setting the cast find themselves in.
- To the episodes "The Tower of Terror" and "Haunter Versus Kadabra":
- The tower in the former episode is features as a stage, with Ash in his Astral Projection state carrying a panicked Misty in the background.
- Haunter's act of pulling out a Cartoon Bomb on Sabrina in the latter episode is recreated in Gengar's victory animation, with the latter getting a Funny Afro and dazzled expression as a result.
- Gengar's assists include Ekans and Medicham, effectively recreating the antagonistic group Team Meanies from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team. Gengar even holds up a rescue team badge whenever he calls an assist.
- One of Lucario's assists is Sir Aaron from the movie Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
- The Latias that appears during the beginning and end of the fights with Swalot, complete with transforming to and from a human resembling themselves, originates from the Emerald chapter of the manga series. Latias' association with Swalot, combined with one of the assists being Electrode, may double as an allusion to the Author Avatars of the manga.
- Token Human: Sir Aaron is the only human character in the roster, even if just as an assist. All other humans featured are cameos.
- A Winner Is You: The Gratuitous English "Thank You for Praying" you get for clearing a single player campaign.
