In the core series

Iono in the "Iono Zone"

Iono hosts a livestream called "Iono Zone" (Japanese: ドンナモンジャＴＶ Donnamonja TV) in Paldea. She is known to stream her work as a Gym Leader, and prioritizes viewer numbers and engagement on her channel,never missing a chance when she can have a collaboration with another popular figure. However, she is so popular that she has trouble casually going on picnics with her Pokémon because she attracts so much attention. Adding to her charm, Iono also has the habit of mixing languages together and moving animatedly.

In addition to the Gym Badge, Iono gives out TM048 (Volt Switch) after defeating her.

Trivia

• Her hairclips resemble two Magnemite. The screws above her sternum and on her boots resemble those found on Magnemite's body. Despite this, no member from the Magnemite line is included in her team.
• Her Japanese Gym Leader title is エレキトリカル★ストリーマー.
• Iono's Mismagius with the Electric Tera Type may allude to Iono herself, with her appearance in particular somewhat resembling Mismagius's own.
