Dexio and Sina are first met by the player in Route 4 where they discuss about Flabébé and the Fairy type. Dexio then introduces himself as a Pokémon-voyage veteran who received his Pokédex from Professor Sycamore two years beforehand. In the gate to Lumiose City, Dexio tells the player about friendship and gives the player TM27 (Return). After arriving at Lumiose City, Dexio tells the player to follow Sina to Professor Sycamore's lab.

Further on, he and Sina give the player the Coastal Kalos Pokédex at Route 8 and the Mountain Dex in Coumarine City.

The duo are soon met again at the Kalos Power Plant, disguised as the defenders of Kalos. They arrive to stop Team Flare, but by the time they get there, the player has already driven the villains away. They thank the player for their help and offers their assistance before taking off. Dexio is met alongside Professor Sycamore when the player reaches Dendemille Town to discuss the legend of XerneasX/YveltalY. The player meets them again in their disguises in Lysandre Labs, where they ask if the player has seen a man as tall as a stretched-out Seviper that Team Flare has been searching for. There, they pretend that they have never met the player and warns them to be safe when fighting against Team Flare.

After Lysandre is defeated in the Team Flare Secret HQ, the masked Dexio and Sina thanks the player for their victory. Tierno reveals that he and Trevor teamed up with Dexio and Sina to free the Pokémon Team Flare tied to the stones on Route 10 to power their ultimate weapon. When Tierno states their names, Sina denies their true identities. Dexio also reveals that he and Sina destroyed the machine Lysandre used to spy on peoples' Holo Casters.

After the player has become Champion, Dexio is seen with Sina in the parade Professor Sycamore made for the player and their friends.

Quotes

Pokémon X and Y

Route 4
"Hello there! Have you ever heard of a Pokémon called Flabébé?"
If Flabébé is marked in the player's Pokédex as "seen": "Oh! I see. It's registered in your Pokédex! That's what I would expect from one of the professor's handpicked Pokémon Trainers!"
If Flabébé is marked in the player's Pokédex as "unseen": "So, you haven't seen one yet... Well, that's something you can look forward to!"
"Fairy type is a Pokémon type that was just classified recently."
"I'm Dexio. Two years ago, Professor Sycamore entrusted me with a Pokédex. You could call me a Pokémon-voyage veteran."
Lumiose City - Route 4 Gate
"So, how are you and <lead Pokémon> getting along? The more you walk around with your Pokémon, the stronger your friendship will become."
"Here! This is the TM for Return. This is a move that gets more powerful when your friendship with the Pokémon using it is strong."
Lumiose City
"Follow her that way to the lab!"
Route 8
"Stop right there!"
"Ah ha ha! We didn't mean to surprise you. How are you and <first Pokémon in party> doing?"
"Well, it can't! That's why we are here to power up your Pokédex!"
"The Coastal Kalos Pokédex will be on your Pokédex menu, so tap it to select it!"
Route 13 - Coumarine City Gate
"Ha! Just kidding, Trainer! We weren't really waiting for you. We were on our way to the Power Plant at Professor Sycamore's request. But the gate connecting Lumiose City to Route 13 has been shut by a mysterious power outage. We have to investigate."
"I'm just going to give you the answer. It's Mountain Kalos. So I'm going to take this opportunity and power up your Pokédex again."
"The Mountain Kalos Pokédex has been added to your Pokédex menu. Just tap it to check it out, OK?"
Power Plant
"You and your Pokémon are the ultimate team! No doubt about it! But don't push yourself too hard. Here. Take these."
"Thanks to you, the power is back on in Lumiose City. Now people can pass through the gate connecting Route 13 to Lumiose City again."
Dendemille Town
"Why, hello, <player>! How have you been?"
"Um... Professor..."
"Wherever do you think a Pokémon that amazing could be now?"
"It would be absolutely amazing if you found it, <player>. Maybe I'll look into the legend a little bit. If I find something, I'll let you know!"
Lysandre Labs
"We're looking for a really tall guy... And I mean tall. If you stretched out a Seviper and stood it up, he'd be that tall. We received some intelligence that Team Flare is also trying to find him for some reason."
"Uh... Anyway... We came here--at a certain professor's request--to stop Team Flare! I assume your goal is the same? Don't do anything reckless, OK?"
  • If talked to again
"The professor's feeling pretty down, but he's using his network of acquaintances to try to stop Team Flare's plan."
Geosenge Town
"Don't worry about it, Tierno. We were all doing the best we could to stop Team Flare's plans."
"Oh, we have a little bit of news for you all. We managed to destroy the machine in Lysandre's lab that was spying on people's Holo Caster transmissions."

Pokémon Sun and Moon

Heahea City
"Ah ha ha! We didn't mean to surprise you. You must be doing your island challenge."
"I'm Dexio."
"We're here seeing the sights in Alola. Its unique tradition of island challenge... It's pretty fascinating, I've got to say."
"And why should we do that? Though I might as well test my skills. Is that all right with you?"S
Yes: "Then I'll let my partners go wild!"S
No: "If you'd ever like to battle, I'd be willing. Just ask."S
  • Upon being defeatedS
"Alola Trainers have a different charm than those in Kalos!"
  • After being defeatedS
"That's what I would expect from a Trainer doing the island challenge. I felt the bond between you and your Pokémon!"
"You and your Pokémon are the ultimate team! No doubt about it! This battle reminded me of us in the past...and that group of five young Trainers. I've made up my mind! I'll entrust this important item to you!"
Route 16
"Sina... You don't waste even a second."
If the player collected less than 10 Cells and/or Cores: "You've collected fewer than 10 Cells and Cores combined..."
If the player collected more than 10 Cells and/or Cores: "You've collected 10 or more Cells and Cores combined."
"Oh...Sina, Sina, Sina... Anyway... There are two ways to assemble Zygarde. One is to add Cells you collected to Zygarde."
"Next we'll explain about separation."
"Separated Cells will be returned to the Zygarde Cube."
"For your information, according to the research by the professor who's sent us to Alola, Zygarde is divided into 100 Cells and Cores."
"Zygarde is said to maintain the order of the Kalos region...then why is it in Alola...? Is it a sign that something is about to happen?"
Ancient Poni Path
"How are you, <player>?"
If the player collected all Cells and Cores: "Zygarde at 100%... You might be able to control it fully!"
If the player has not collected all Cells and Cores: "If you collect all Cells and Cores, please visit the Aether Base on Route 16 on Ula'ula Island. Use the Reassembly Unit there, and you can transform them into a Zygarde!"
"But we are Trainers. Rather than explaining it all in words, why don't we just show you what Mega Evolution is!"
  • Upon being defeated
"My Pokémon each gave it their best."
  • After being defeated
"The Trainer holds the Key Stone! The Pokémon holds the Mega Stone! And that's how you can make your Pokémon Mega Evolve during battle!"
"If you have a Key Stone, you'll be able to make your Pokémon that hold a Mega Stone Mega Evolve!"

"If you're interested, I'll give you the Zygarde we caught. You could combine the two to see what will happen. But only if you can beat me!"
I'm up for the challenge!: "Then I'll let my precious partners go wild!"

Dexio in the fourteenth chapter

X & Y arc

Dexio first appeared in Kangaskhan...Kangascan't. He and Sina were first seen being called by Professor Sycamore to make a copy of the footage of Vaniville Town's destruction so that Lysandre may study it.

In What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes?, Dexio and Sina were sent to find Professor Sycamore's missing Charmander, which had escaped from his lab. They found Charmander with X and his friends. Mistaking the children for thieves, Dexio and Sina took Charmander, but were stopped by Tierno, who used his Roller Skates to take Charmander back. After Tierno explained that they were merely returning Charmander to its proper owner, Dexio and Sina excused themselves and left.

In Zygarde Appears, Dexio and Sina infiltrated Lysandre Café. There, they defeated a disguised Team Flare Grunt and interrogated him for information on Team Flare's whereabouts. After getting what they wanted, Dexio and Sina reported to Professor Sycamore that Team Flare went into hiding at the Pokémon Village.

In Epilogue, after Team Flare's defeat, Professor Sycamore had Dexio and Sina sent to Alola to investigate the Zygarde Cells that have been spotted around the region.

Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon arc

In A Photoshoot and the Abandoned Thrifty Megamart, Dexio and Sina arrived on Ula'ula Island. In the five months that passed since they arrived in Alola, the duo managed to gather sixty percent of Zygarde's Cells. Later, they spotted Sun using Stoutland Search and decided to ask him to help find the remaining Cells.

In Confusion and Monsters from Another World, Dexio and Sina infiltrated the Aether House, where they met Sun and requested that he help them find Zygarde's Cells. While he was initially reluctant, Sun agreed after Dexio and Sina offered to pay him a large amount of money for each Cell he found. After receiving a Zygarde Cube to store the Cells in as well as a Mecha Fletchling to keep in touch with Dexio and Sina, Sun set off.

In PASM29, Dexio and Sina introduced Samson Oak to the Reassembly Unit at the Aether Base on Route 16, which they planned to use to control Zygarde's forms. Later, Dexio, Sina, Samson, and Lillie set off to Mount Lanakila to investigate an Ultra Wormhole that appeared above the area. Before they could leave, a large swarm of Zygarde Cells and a Core converged into the Reassembly Unit and emerged as a Complete Forme Zygarde. Shortly afterward, Sun emerged from the wormhole and was rescued by Zygarde. Dexio and the others traveled to Mount Lanakila, where they found an injured Lunala and Lusamine. After Lillie helped free her mother from the Nihilego she was fused with, Lusamine fainted. Sun tried getting Zygarde to take Lusamine to a hospital, only to notice that Necrozma had arrived.

Sun and Samson stayed behind to battle Necrozma while Dexio and Sina took Lillie and Lusamine to a safer place. They tried taking an elevator to the base of the mountain, only for Dexio to be hit by a poison arrow fired by Plumeria, who had disguised herself as Moon.
