Trivia

• Kali is the first playable character based on a generic non-playable Trainer class from the core series to be directly based on a character from the core series games.
• Kali and Azumarill being released for the 2023 New Year's event may reference 2023 being the Year of the Water Rabbit, as Azumarill is known as the Aqua Rabbit Pokémon.

Origin

Kali's design is based on her appearance in Pokémon X and Y, which, in turn, is based on one of the four possible appearances of the Furisode Girl Trainer class from the aforementioned games. Kali uses an Azumarill during the battle against her at the Laverre Gym. Azumarill's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ruby.
