The episode was delayed due to the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami shortly before the episode was supposed to debut. Two others were also postponed, and it remains unknown when, or if, they will air.

The episode will feature both forms of Basslao in a fishing contest in which Pokémon Sommelier Dent competes. The episode is set in Huin City some time after Satoshi's third Gym Battle.

In actuality, some clips from this episode have already been played; a few scenes were featured in Dr. Ōkido's Live Caster after the latest episode of the series.
