Trivia

  • Viola's English voice actor gives her a French accent, which may be because her home region of Kalos is based on France.
    • However, she is the only Trainer from Kalos to have a French accent in Pokémon Masters EX.
  • All versions of Viola use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon). Those Trainers include Valerie.
  • Viola and Vivillon are the first seasonal sync pair to have the Field role.

Origin

Viola's design is based on her appearance in Pokémon X and Y. Surskit is one of the Pokémon that Viola uses during the Gym battle against her in the core series games, while Masquerain is used during the rematches against her at the Battle Chateau. Surskit and Masquerain's Dex entries come from Pokémon Ultra Sun.

Vivillon is Viola's signature Pokémon in the core series games, although she doesn't own an Icy Snow Pattern Vivillon outside this game. Vivillon's Dex entry comes from Pokémon X.
