Iono is a streamer, online video creator and an influencer from the Paldea region, a livestream called "Iono Zone" (Japanese: ドンナモンジャＴＶ Donnamonja TV).[2] She is known to stream her work as a Gym Leader, and prioritizes viewer numbers and engagement on her channel;[3] as such, she never misses the chance to have a collaboration with another popular figure, with characters in the game mentioning she's done so with Tulip on one occasion.[4] 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.[5] To add to her charm, Iono also has the habit of mixing languages together and moving animatedly, which both she and her fans refer to as "Iono-ese".[4] In one of Salvatore's language classes, he even references her as a popular streamer who "smashes several languages together." The game states that her viewers' reactions are more important to Iono than victory in battle.
According to one of her fans that appears during her Gym Challenge, they refer to themselves as part of the "Iono Hype Squad", often referring to her as "Miss Iono".[4]
In addition to the Gym Badge, Iono gives out TM048 (Volt Switch) after defeating her.
Iono can appear in the Blueberry Academy League Club as a special coach, and speaks with the player, Brassius, Larry, Tulip, Grusha, Clavell, and Salvatore. After beating her in a rematch, she will give the player the Iono Zone Case as a gift.
Appearance
Whilst her age is unknown, characters in Levincia state that Iono has been a streamer for quite a few years, wondering how old she really is.[4] Regardless, Iono appears to be a small, thin woman with long arms and legs. Her teal and pink hair reaches down below her knees, with two wide ponytails of contrasting colors that follow behind her. At the end of each ponytail, there are "bulbs" with alternating pink and teal surfaces. The rest of her hair is fairly short on top, with a short pink bang protruding from a some hair above her forehead in the appearance of a ribbon. It's unknown whether this ribbon shape is an accessory or is actually a styled part of her hair. Iono's eyes are a gradient of various colors, such as purple, pink, and a light yellow, with her eyelashes having a black appearance until their very ends, where they look like segmented purple triangles that are disconnected from the actual lash itself. In 2D adaptations of her design, such as her official artwork and anime appearances, the purple segments of her eyelashes appear behind her hair regardless of the perspective, but in both her debut reveal stream as well as Pokémon Scarlet & Violet, this is not the case. Alongside her short, thin eyebrows, it may suggest that Iono's hair color is naturally black. Her teeth are notably different from that of other characters, with each tooth sporting a jagged shark-like appearance. It's possible that this is a reference to the design of popular virtual YouTuber characters in the real world.
She primarily wears an oversized yellow and black jacket featuring her logo on the front, with thin straps at the end of each sleeve that feature Poké Balls on their ends. The sheer size of this jacket is enough to cradle her phone, as seen in her concept art. Underneath the jacket, she wears a silver bodysuit that hooks around her neck at the top with a screw-like object, covering her back and chest, with a black textured outfit underneath that reaches down to her thighs. The screw-like object seen near her neck is also embedded onto the outside each of Iono's shoes, which feature a notable high heel and are a similar silvery color to her bodysuit, with the base of each shoe being a yellow color. Between her shoes, bodysuit, and what appears to be a thigh-high sock covering all of her right leg, they all feature a repeating hexagonal pattern. Her left thigh has a black strap wrapped around it, featuring some unknown gray text.
Iono is also accessorized with two hair clips that look like Magnemite. Although they are not actually Pokémon, they can be animated independently at will, presumably by Iono herself. Her concept art in both the games and anime show that these Magnemite-inspired hair clips are able to react mimic her reactions, such as when Iono is in a state of shock or anger. As seen in her reveal trailer, the hair clips can emote with a variety of different expressions shown on their eyes, in a way identical to an actual Magnemite. Despite all of this, Iono never uses any Pokémon from the Magnemite family on her team, although she can trade one to the player in The Indigo Disk.
As part of her personality, Iono moves animatedly in a variety of ways. During her streams, she will often shake in place with clenched teeth when in an awkward or otherwise tense situation. During a battle, she steps up and down in place, an action that is also noted on her concept art. Due to her oversized jacket, Iono's hands are rarely seen, leading to actions such as waving or even holding a Poké Ball being done under the coat.

Pokémon Horizons: The Series
Iono first appeared in HZ015, where she was is revealed to be friends with Dot. Iono was contacted by Dot to help her find Liko, who was missing. Taking the opportunity, Iono asked Dot if she wanted to do a collaboration in her live show as Nidothing to better spread the word. With the help of Iono, Dot was able to locate Liko in Levincia. Iono then turned the search into a game of tag and later congratulated Roy for finding Liko and thanked Liko for her help in making her stream a hit.
Design
Iono was adapted for the anime by the series' character designers. As can be seen in her settei, Iono's Magnemite hair clips can move independently, especially when jumping upwards in a state of surprise. This is similar to the games, so much so that the concept art for her appearance in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet also makes note of this. Despite this, her design is simpler for animation, as she lacks the hexagonal pattern that travels up her clothing and boots.
Her debut episode was animation directed by Masaaki Iwane, who solo-animates animates almost all of the episodes he participates on.[6] As a result, Iono's first appearance was entirely animated in his style, where he uses a variety of animation techniques idiosyncratic to him. Her personality is made clear by Iwane's strong understanding of animation timing, allowing him to hold her on dynamic poses with very little in-betweens, which then snap together to create a wealth of exaggerated movements, such as when she's addressing her fans after Liko has been found. To further emphasize this, he often animates her more drawn-out movements on every single frame, which makes her movements appear even more erratic when snapping back to more limited animation, all in a very short timespan.
In both Iono's reveal trailer and game debut in Generation IX, she often tends to step in place, something that is absent from her movement in the anime.

In the manga
Let's Play a Pokémon Card Game!
Monjana, (a Cross-canon counterpart of Iono) appeared in the Scarlet & Violet arc of Let's Play a Pokémon Card Game!, where she battles against the protagonists. Her deck is themed around Electric-type Pokémon, such as Pikachu and Pawmi, and often mentions how lucky she is at the game.[7] Monjana's personality appears to be similar to that of Iono's in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, as she maintains a thoroughly smug attitude throughout both of her battles, though her design is radically different. The Magnemite-shaped hairclips have been replaced with Master Balls, and her hair now curves below her face in the shape of lightning bolts. Additionally, she now has an actual ribbon in her hair, as opposed to having her hair styled like a ribbon above her fringe.
Her design is far simpler in this manga; her sharp teeth have been removed in favor of a single fang, with further simplifications made to her boots and singular thigh high, the latter of which was removed. Her jacket now resembles a Bellibolt in spite of it not making an appearance in Monjana's deck during the chapter she is in, but its expression on the jacket shifts depending on Monjana's own personality for comedic effect.
In the TCG
- Main article: Iono (Paldea Evolved 185)
Iono was introduced as a Supporter card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese Clay Burst expansion and the English Paldea Evolved expansion, with artwork by Sanosuke Sakuma. An ultra rare version with artwork by the same artist, and a special illustration rare version of the card with artwork by kirisAki were released in the same sets. It forces both players to shuffle their hands and put it on the bottom of their decks, before drawing cards for each of their remaining Prize cards.

Trivia
- Iono's Japanese Gym Leader title is エレキトリカル★ストリーマー.[16]
- Iono renames her challenge "Where in Levincia Is Mr. Walksabout?", possibly referencing the edutainment series Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?.
- Iono's Electrode knows Sucker Punch, despite being unable to learn the move in Generation IX at the time of Scarlet and Violet's release.
