After battling her at the Gym, she will immediately invite the player to a rematch atop the Tower of Mastery. There, Korrina gives the player the Mega Ring.

Win or lose, the player has the option of getting the Lucario that joined him/her for the battle.

So cute! The way she dresses up in costume-like clothing makes my heart go crazy! Lately, Korrina has been in the PR Video Studio! Following two years of planning and another year of shooting, her highly anticipated new PR Video is scheduled for release at the end of next year! Oh... She went inside the Gym... That's all for the on-site report. Good-bye for now, everyone."''
'''{{rt|5|Kalos}}'''
:''"'''Wait! {{p|Lucario}}!!!'''"''
:''"Sorry about that! Are you OK? I was doing some special training with my Lucario when all of a sudden it dashed off... Hey, Lucario! What's going on with you? Did you get drawn in by this {{tt|boy's|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|girl's|If the player is a girl}} [[aura]] or something?"''
:''"Huh. Well, it seems Lucario likes you!"'' ({{tt|either way|The options are ''Thank you!'' and ''You think so?''}}) ''"See, Lucario can read people's auras. I guess something in your aura has made this one take a liking to a stranger! This Lucario is always getting worked up in battle with my other one. Maybe it's just waiting for a Trainer to appear who's strong enough to challenge it... Oops! I was on such a roll, I forgot to even introduce myself! I'm Korrina, the Shalour City Gym Leader. If you're collecting Gym Badges, I'm sure we'll be battling sooner or later! I'm looking forward to it. I hope you know how to roll with the punches!"''

:''"Hey! You're that Trainer from Route 5!"''
:'''Lucario''': ''"Awwof!"''

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Korrina (Masters)}}
Korrina forms a [[sync pair]] with {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} and {{p|Marshadow}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Her Lucario is capable of [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]]. Korrina has been a playable sync pair since the game's release, with her joining the {{player}} after completing the sixth chapter of the [[PML Arc]].


* After being defeated
She has also made notable appearances in one of the game's Main Stories, the PML Arc.
:''"OK! Now I get it! I see why Lucario likes you so much! So! Do you remember I'm the Gym Leader in Shalour City? Once you get past the cave just beyond here, you'll be there, so stop by and say hello!"''

* During the conversation about [[Mega Evolution]]
===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
:''"Exactly! And it's likely that Pokémon evolve in a lot of other ways as well! But Mega Evolution is an [[Evolution]] that transcends all other Evolution!"''
Korrina and her Lucario appear in [[Pokémon UNITE]] as an enemy Trainer to fight during the Legacy Trainer Showdown event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. It took place on [[Theia Sky Ruins]] The other members of her team are [[Cynthia]], [[Raihan]], [[Leon]], and {{ga|Green}}. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023.
:''"Yes... Mega Evolution is a special kind of Evolution. That said, we still know very little about it. What we know now is that it requires special items. And the most important element is the trust between Pokémon and Trainer."''


* After defeating {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}}
Korrina and her Lucario also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring {{DL|Theia Sky Ruins|Solo Challenge}} event. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties. The composition of the opposing team varies depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of herself, Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Green. In Cynthia themed events, Korrina and the other non-Cynthia members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Leon and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In Leon themed events, Korrina and the other non-Leon members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by Ace Trainers. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Cynthia and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In this mode, Korrina and her Lucario never use [[Holowear]].
:''"There may be winners and losers in a Pokémon battle. But I really thought you two and your Pokémon were all winners! Mega Evolution is nothing more than just one way to make Pokémon stronger. There are many Trainers who bring out the strength of their Pokémon without Mega Evolution."''
:''"Pokémon need a [[Mega Stone]]! And Pokémon Trainers need the [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]]! Well, my mysterious Trainer, my Lucario may have taken a shine to you, but now I must test you to see if you're ready to challenge the Mega Evolution successor! I'll be waiting for you at the Gym! Oh, the rest of your friends should come challenge me at the Gym, too!"''


'''[[Shalour Gym]]'''
Unlike other Trainers in this game, Korrina and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Korrina has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Lucario with two dimensional artwork. (The normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used.) This means her [[List of items in Pokémon UNITE#Battle Items|Battle Item]] is not shown. However, she uses [[Eject Button]].

Korrina made her anime debut in ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]''. She appeared before {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, aiming to claim her 99th successive victory, eagerly challenging Ash to a battle. In the end, her {{p|Lucario}} easily defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]], and the group decided to have a lunch together.
===Main series===
[[File:Young Korrina.png|250px|thumb|left|A young Korrina]]
{{main|Korrina (anime)}}
During the lunch, {{an|Bonnie}} noticed Korrina's [[Key Stone]], and she revealed that she had received it from [[Gurkinn|her grandfather]]. However, she was still lacking the [[Mega Stone]] to Mega Evolve her Lucario. After the group had saved Pikachu and Lucario from {{TRT}}, Ash and his friends decided to join Korrina on her hunt for {{DL|Mega Stone|Lucarionite}}.
Korrina is a recurring character in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' who met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'' on their way to her hometown. The group accompanied her as she traveled to [[Geosenge Town]] to understand and master the [[Mega Evolution]] of her trusted partner {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}}. She left the group at [[Pomace Mountain]] in ''[[XY034|The Bonds of Mega Evolution!]]'', and eventually battled Ash in a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} in ''[[XY044|Showdown at the Shalour Gym!]]'', where Ash emerged victorious. She made later appearances in ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', and returned in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.


In ''[[XY031|The Cave of Trials!]]'', Korrina, along with Ash and his friends, arrived in [[Geosenge Town]]. There, they met a [[photography|photographer]] called [[McGinty]], who gave them a hint of going to a nearby mountain. On the mountain, the group discovered a cave, where the Lucarionite was hidden. Protecting the Mega Stone, however, was a {{p|Blaziken}}, whom Korrina had to battle. Due to Blaziken having a type advantage over Lucario, Korrina was initially losing, but thanks to Ash and friends' encouragements, Korrina and Lucario were able to rise from the brink of defeat and immobilize Blaziken with {{m|Bone Rush}}. Just when Lucario was about to finish the battle, Korrina's grandfather, Gurkinn, came out of the shadows, admitting his defeat and allowing Korrina to take the Lucarionite. With the proper Mega Stone finally in her hands, Korrina started her Lucario's very first Mega Evolution.
===GOTCHA!===
Korrina briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].
{{-}}


In ''[[XY032|The Aura Storm!]]'', after Lucario's first Mega Evolution, Korrina agreed to have a battle with Ash and Pikachu to test her Mega Evolved Pokémon's powers. However, during the battle, Lucario lost control, and it was only stopped from attacking Ash along with Pikachu by Gurkinn's own Lucario. Gurkinn explained that Lucario couldn't control its increased [[Aura]] powers after Mega Evolving, which was why it went berserk. Korrina then had another battle with her Lucario, this time against Gurkinn's own Mega Lucario. However, Korrina's Lucario lost control of itself again soon after Mega Evolving, and Gurkinn won the battle. Afterwards, Gurkinn sent Korrina and Lucario to [[Pomace Mountain]] to get help from a Mega Evolution Trainer.

She was seen in a flashback in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]''.  
[[File:Viola Korrina Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Korrina in Pokémon Adventures]]
 
Korrina debuted in ''[[PS556|Lucky Lucario Was Here]]''. She first appeared in [[Santalune City]] after being called there by [[Viola]]. As soon as she arrived, she helped {{adv|X}} defeat [[Celosia]], a [[Team Flare]] scientist, and retrieve a [[Kangaskhanite]] she stole. Later, Korrina gave {{adv|Tierno}} a pair of [[Roller Skates]] as a gift. Upon learning X received his [[Mega Ring]] without the proper succession ceremony, Korrina refused to acknowledge X as a true Mega Evolution Successor and angrily left without telling him more about it.
Korrina appeared again in ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', meeting up with Ash and company when they arrived in Shalour City. She reappeared in [[XY044|the following episode]], where she and Ash had their Gym battle at the [[Shalour Gym]], located inside the [[Tower of Mastery]]. At first, Ash attempted to copy [[Tierno]]'s dancing battle strategies from the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], but wasn't successful. After switching back to his own style of battling, Ash proceeded to defeat both Korrina's {{p|Mienfoo}} and {{p|Machoke}} with {{AP|Hawlucha}} and {{AP|Fletchinder}}, respectively. Determined to still win, Korrina sent out Lucario and immediately Mega Evolved it. With this power boost, Lucario was easily able to beat Fletchinder and Hawlucha, leaving Ash with just his last Pokémon, Pikachu. Mega Lucario's overwhelming power gave Pikachu a lot of trouble, but eventually, after a fierce exchange of attacks, Pikachu was able to defeat Mega Lucario and win the match for Ash, thus earning him the {{badge|Rumble}}.

===Voice actors===
In ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]'', Korrina returned to the [[Tower of Mastery]], where she demanded that [[Gurkinn]] explain why he gave X a Mega Ring. Before Gurkinn could answer, the tower was attacked by a {{p|Trevenant}} used by [[Emma|Essentia]], another Team Flare member. Korrina and Gurkinn fought the villain, only for Essentia to reveal she was distracting them while her Trevenant covered the tower in vines, trapping them inside. In order to prevent the secrets of Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, Korrina reluctantly helped Gurkinn activate the Tower of Mastery's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

==In the manga==
In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', Korrina met [[Diantha]], one of Gurkinn's students. Diantha led Korrina to a nearby river where they found Gurkinn under attack by [[Chalmers]], a {{tc|Team Flare Admin}}. Once Gurkinn was rescued, he, Korrina, and Diantha used their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Afterward, Diantha joined Korrina and Gurkinn and they set off to keep the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} out of Team Flare's clutches.
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Korrina Adventures.png|thumb|right|130px|Korrina in Pokémon Adventures]]
Korrina first appears in [[Santalune City]], where she helps {{adv|X}} and his friends face [[Celosia]] of [[Team Flare]] to retrieve X's stolen {{DL|Mega Stone|Kangaskhanite}}. Using her Mega Glove, Korrina Mega Evolves her {{p|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario and sends it out to battle. After X retrieves the Kangaskhanite, he uses it to evolve [[Garu and Kogaru|Kogaru]] into Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} and teams up with Lucario. Together, they defeat Celosia, forcing her to retreat since she knows that she's outmatched against two Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Later, Korrina meets up with X's friends and gives [[Tierno]] a pair of [[Roller Skates]]. When X states that he doesn't think it's important to have a successor ceremony for his [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]], Korrina states that she refuses to acknowledge him as a successor. She questions her grandfather's decision to give X the Mega Ring and angrily storms off.


Korrina goes back to Shalour City, where she angrily attacks her grandfather for giving X a Mega Ring and demands to know why he decided to do it. Before Gurkinn can give a proper answer, they are attacked by a {{p|Trevenant}}. Korrina immediately goes to battle it, but soon realizes that the attack is only a distraction to separate her from her grandfather. She looks outside to see Gurkinn being attacked by [[Emma|Essentia]]. After escaping from the Trevenant, Korrina skates down to the bottom floor to help Gurkinn. When Gurkinn realizes that Essentia is attempting to steal the tower by covering it in Trevenant's vines, he tells Korrina that they need to activate the Tower of Mastery's self destruct switch and protect the secrets of Mega Evolution. Although reluctant, Korrina agrees and helps her grandfather destroy the tower.
In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Korrina, Gurkinn, and Diantha helped X and his friends fight Team Flare on {{rt|9|Kalos}} to stop them from taking Xerneas's tree form. Gurkinn helped X take on Essentia, Diantha was challenged by [[Malva]], while Korrina went ahead to keep Celosia from transporting Xerneas to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|Team Flare's base]]. After a tough battle, Korrina's {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} defeated Celosia's {{p|Aegislash}}, but fainted from exhaustion afterward. As she confidently proclaimed victory, Korrina failed to notice Celosia's lurking behind her and launching an attack. Later, X and his friends found Korrina's unconsciouus body, where they learned that Celosia successfully took Xerneas as well as taking the [[Key Stone]] in Korrina's Mega Glove.


Afterward, the two go into hiding. After being awoken from a dream of her training days, Korrina meets [[Diantha]], another one of the students who received a Key Stone from Gurkinn. They go and meet up with Gurkinn, only to find him being attacked by {{tc|Team Flare Admin}} Chalmers. They defeat Chalmers and save Gurkinn with their Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Diantha decides that they should go and find the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Yveltal}}'s cocoon form since Team Flare has already secured the tree form of {{p|Xerneas}}.
In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Korrina was taken to a hospital in [[Laverre City]] to recover from her injuries. In ''[[PS594|Floette Returns]]'', three months after Team Flare's defeat, Korrina was revealed to have fully recuperated. X was asked by Korrina to come to [[Shalour City]] to become an official Mega Evolution Successor. Once X arrived at the city, however, Korrina was upset to see that he did not bring his friends for the succession ceremony. She then had him call for his friends before proceeding with the ceremony.

Korrina challenging the player at the Tower of Mastery

Korrina appears in Pokémon X and Y as a Gym Leader from Shalour City. Trainers who defeat Korrina will receive the Rumble Badge, along with TM98 (Power-Up Punch). According to the television show Gym Freaks and an NPC at Café Action!, she is a PR Video star. It also states that she dresses up in costumes; her magnificent legs able to shatter cave rocks into pieces using her axe-kick move.

Korrina first appears on Route 5, when one of her Lucario comes up to the player while she is doing some special training. She notes about how Lucario has taken a liking to the player's aura, then introduces herself to the player as the Shalour City Gym Leader. She then appears in Geosenge Town, where she challenges the player to a battle with her two Lucario.

After arriving in Shalour City, Korrina can be found in the Tower of Mastery with her grandfather Gurkinn, the Mega Evolution guru. Once the player wins the battle for the Mega Ring against their rival, Korrina will go to her Gym for a battle.

After battling her at the Gym, she will immediately invite the player to a rematch atop the Tower of Mastery. There, Korrina gives the player the Mega Ring. After that, the Lucario that had become close to the player temporarily joins their team, and the two have a one-on-one battle, using just their Lucario, both holding a Lucarionite. Win or lose, the player has the option of getting the Lucario that joined them for the battle.

Once the player obtains rank of Marquis/Marchioness at the Battle Chateau, Korrina and the other Gym Leaders will be able to be battled there for rematches. There, Korrina will possess the rank of Marchioness.

As soon as she arrived, she helped X defeat Celosia, a Team Flare scientist, and retrieve a Kangaskhanite she stole. Later, Korrina gave Tierno a pair of Roller Skates as a gift. Upon learning X received his Mega Ring without the proper succession ceremony, Korrina refused to acknowledge X as a true Mega Evolution Successor and angrily left without telling him more about it.

In Trevenant Pokes, Korrina returned to the Tower of Mastery, where she demanded that Gurkinn explain why he gave X a Mega Ring. Before Gurkinn could answer, the tower was attacked by a Trevenant used by Essentia, another Team Flare member. Korrina and Gurkinn fought the villain, only for Essentia to reveal she was distracting them while her Trevenant covered the tower in vines, trapping them inside. In order to prevent the secrets of Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, Korrina reluctantly helped Gurkinn activate the Tower of Mastery's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

In Connecting with Gardevoir, Korrina met Diantha, one of Gurkinn's students. Diantha led Korrina to a nearby river where they found Gurkinn under attack by Chalmers, a Team Flare Admin. Once Gurkinn was rescued, he, Korrina, and Diantha used their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Afterward, Diantha joined Korrina and Gurkinn and they set off to keep the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal out of Team Flare's clutches.

In Tying Trevenant, Korrina, Gurkinn, and Diantha helped X and his friends fight Team Flare on Route 9 to stop them from taking Xerneas's tree form. Gurkinn helped X take on Essentia, Diantha was challenged by Malva, while Korrina went ahead to keep Celosia from transporting Xerneas to Team Flare's base. After a tough battle, Korrina's Lucario defeated Celosia's Aegislash, but fainted from exhaustion afterward. As she confidently proclaimed victory, Korrina failed to notice Celosia's lurking behind her and launching an attack. Later, X and his friends found Korrina's unconsciouus body, where they learned that Celosia successfully took Xerneas as well as taking the Key Stone in Korrina's Mega Glove.

In Quilladin Stands, Korrina was taken to a hospital in Laverre City to recover from her injuries. In Floette Returns, three months after Team Flare's defeat, Korrina was revealed to have fully recuperated. X was asked by Korrina to come to Shalour City to become an official Mega Evolution Successor. Once X arrived at the city, however, Korrina was upset to see that he did not bring his friends for the succession ceremony. She then had him call for his friends before proceeding with the ceremony.
