Returning Gags
James gets hurt by an affectionate Pokémon that he owns, this time being the case with Mareanie.

New gags

 * Instead of blasting off, Team Rocket gets carried away by Bewear.
 * The exaggerated expressions (especially the frightened, angry or sad faces) of the characters are strong references to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
 * Every time Jessie is going to eat her malasada, it gets stolen by another Pokémon instead.
