Iono hosts a livestream called "Iono Zone" (Japanese: ドンナモンジャＴＶDonnamonja TV) in Paldea.[1] She is known to stream her work as a Gym Leader, and prioritizes viewer numbers and engagement on her channel;[2] as such, she never misses the chance to have a collaboration with another popular figure. However, her popularity is so massive to the point she has trouble casually going on picnics with her Pokémon due to all the attention she attracts.[3] To add 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.
Iono's 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.
Iono's Japanese Gym Leader title is エレキトリカル★ストリーマー.[5]
Iono's Mismagius with the Electric Tera Type may allude to Iono herself, with her appearance in particular somewhat resembling Mismagius's own.
Iono renames her challenge "Where in Levincia Is Mr. Walksabout?", which is possibly a reference to the edutainment series Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?.
