Trivia

 * This is the second movie to feature Celebi, Entei and Suicune.
 * This is the first movie that Raikou was featured in, as well as the three Legendary Beasts appearing together for the first time as actual Pokémon.
 * The movie included the first two Pokémon to be from Generation V.
 * This movie was first shown in the US on February 5, 2011 on Cartoon Network.
 * Shiny versions of Raikou, Entei and Suicune appear in the movie. In the movie they are nicknamed the "Crown Beasts*.
 * This is considered one of the darkest Pokémon films, with having a shockingly evil antagonist, a more focused story driven plot, Kodai near fatally choking a Celebi, and the first on screen near fatal Pokémon death that was intentionally caused. And it hardly had any Pokémon battles.
 * This is technically the first Pokémon movie to feature illusions, though some say that The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon was the first.
