==Trivia==
*This miniseries serves as a prequel to the main story of Pokémon Sword and Shield. 
*Much like in Pokémon Origins, Pokémon Evolutions and Pokémon Generations, all Pokémon featured in Pokémon: Twilight Wings make realistic animal noises rather than saying their name, like in the TV series.
*Most episodes involve the Taxi Driver and his Corviknight as recurring characters, befitting the series' name and their involvements in it.
