Lumiose Trainer Academy Friends / Classmates

Alya Césaire / Delphox Rouge

Marinette's best friend and travelling companion. Alya is an aspiring journalist who dreams of working at Lumiose Press, scouring Kalos with her best friend in hopes of uncovering the region's greatest mysteries and discovering more about Mega Evolution. A girl with a strong sense of justice and a fan of superheroes, she quickly becomes the Defenders of Kalos' biggest fan — not knowing that Lady Ledian is Marinette. In Chapter 29, her internship to Lumiose Press has been accepted and she has to leave Marinette occasionally. Alya takes her love of superheroes up a notch by becoming one herself upon acquiring her own Key Stone to invoke Mega Evolution with, debuting as Delphox Rouge at the end of Chapter 51.

---

• Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: In Chapter 52, her Medicham is shown to wear a necklace like Delphox Rogue that holds her Medichamite.

• Artificial Human: Alya's Porygon-Z is known to be an artificial Pokémon whom she got as a gift from Lumiose Press to help her keep in touch with them.
• Ascended Fangirl: She's a big fan of superheroes and she has been following the adventures of Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir since their debut with every chance she can get. She finally made her choice to become a superheroine herself and makes her debut in Chapter 51 as Delphox Rouge, saving the heroic duo in time.
• Attention Whore: Not Alya herself but Trixx, her Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox prior to being captured. During Trixx's time in Professor Damocles' lab, she would act out in order to get some sort of attention since she's bored. But it's implied that it's also because none of the beginning Trainers pick her as a starter, preferring to choose her fellow starters and the more popular Fire-Type Pokémon, neglecting her as a result.
• Best Friend: To Marinette. To two are close as sisters who support each other and Marinette often shares her worries with her.
• Big Damn Heroes: At the end of Chapter 51, she and Trixx save Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir while they were in a pinch in Frost Cavern as a new hero calling herself Delphox Rouge.
• Camera Fiend: Is never seen without her trusty smartphone, taking pictures and recording her travels across Kalos and of Lady Ledian's heroic endeavors.
• Catchphrase:
  • When Alya catches a new Pokémon, she declares, "News flash, my peeps! I just caught a —!".
  • When Mega Evolving Medicham, she says "Let's lunge! Mega Evolve!" Lunge is a synonym of pounce, which is the English transformation phrase for Trixx in the main show.
• Character Tics: Whenever Marinette forgets something important or going through her wild imaginative scenarios, Alya would always shake her head with a Facepalm.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: Alya is known for her love of superheroes and her strong sense of truth and justice that she's not afraid of standing up to wrongdoings, even when its putting her safety at risk. She eventually takes the initiative of becoming one to openly help out Lady Ledian, debuting as the heroine Delphox Rouge at the end of Chapter 51.
• Cool Big Sis: She takes care her of her younger twin sisters, so is good at handling children, especially those who are mischievous. As a result, she acts like one to her more tricky Pokémon like Trixx and Rotom. She also behaves like one to Manon in Chapter 36.
• The Dreaded: Her Rotom and Played for Laughs. When Marinette learns that Alya caught the Rotom that shocked her a few moments ago, she becomes ''horrified'' that Alya has another Electric-Type that will shock her.
• Facepalm: Marinette's antics are often the cause of this.
• Dishing Out Dirt: Her Amaura is part Rock-Type.
• Fantastic Foxes: Trixx, under Alya's ownership.
• Fire-Forged Friendship: She captured her Meditite in a battle, both soon bonding over their shared determination.
• Floating Limbs: Porygon-Z's head is always levitating.
• Fossil Revival: She gains an Amaura through the Sail Fossil she obtained after the group's expedition to Glittering Cave.
• Fragile Speedster: When Alya's Elekid evolved into Electabuzz, his speed increased but his defense is feeble.
• Genre Savvy: Thanks to her desire to snag a big scoop and her strong sense of justice stemming from reading about superheroes, Alya knows to hide her face from Team Akuma by sneaking around the Grunts to avoid being on their hit list since she's not wearing a mask like Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir. And she doesn't mind openly lending a hand against a Bond Hybrid since their ties to Team Akuma would be severed once Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir undo the fusion and their memories under Poison Moth's control disappear.
• Gentle Giant: The first thing Alya's Amaura does when she's brought to life is to curiously greet her new trainer with a light head nudge.
• Glass Cannon:
  • Alya's Porygon-Z has high Special Attack but cannot take hits.
  • The Rotom she captures also has high Special Attack, but it's stats are mediocre at best.
• Grew Beyond Their Programming: Despite it's glitchy programme, Alya's Porygon-Z is implied to take interest in its surrounding and the reason it shocked Marinette was simply to see her reaction.
• Haunted Technology: Her Rotom is known to be able to posses electrical appliances, and in this case, it has so far possessed Max's and Marinette's smart phone.
• An Ice Person: Alya's Amaura is part Ice-Type and has the ability Refrigerate, which turns all of her Normal-Type Attacks into Ice-Type Attacks.
• Intrepid Reporter: Alya aims to be a top journalist for the Lumiose Press and uncover the mysteries and history of Kalos and Mega Evolution. She uploads these findings in her personal online Pokéblog, 'Catch'em All, Alya Césaire! Findings of a Fabulous Trainer!' which updates on close friends and families on what she has found. It eventually becomes a communication hub for Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir to communicate with each other regarding to Team Akuma, Mega Evolution and the Key Stones. She had to part ways with Marinette when her internship to Lumiose Press has been accepted, but after proving her dedication and great work to the head editor, she is allowed to travel with Marinette again to continue providing more findings.
• It Was a Gift: Alya's explanation for her Key Stone, stated word for word in Chapter 53.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Some of Alya's Pokémon are impish pranksters and trolls who cause trouble for fun (Trixx, Rotom, and even Elekid/Electabuzz). However, they have shown to be loyal Pokémon towards their trainer Alya.
• Lightning Bruiser: Her Meditite/Medicham.
• Meaningful Name: Her hero moniker combines her Miraculous hero name from the main series, Rena Rouge, with Delphox, Trixx's final evolved form.
• Mighty Glacier: Alya's Amaura has high HP and Special Attack, and boasts some impressive defenses. Unfortunately, she is fragile against her Kryptonite Factor.
• Mr. Exposition: She's the one who digs up every new intel she can find regarding to location, landmarks and myths and explains them to Marinette.
• Mythology Gag: The Mega Evolution Transformation Sequence for Medicham is described to match Rena Rouge's transformation from the show.
• No Biological Sex: Alya's Porygon-Z and later Rotom don't have a gender.
• Ominous Visual Glitch: Alya's Porygon-Z as due to its programming, as shown in its debut chapter where it spaz out just by moving.
• The Gadfly: While not as bad as Trixx and Rotom, Alya's Elekid/Electabuzz seems to enjoy a little too much on electrocuting Marinette whenever she daydreams, doing mostly cause her reactions are funny.
• Our Ghosts Are Different: Alya's Rotom is a plasmatic force with the ability to posses physical objects, though mostly electrical objects.
• Playing with Fire: Trixx, who is a Delphox as of Chapter 52.
• Power Floats: Her Rotom has the ability Levitate, which helps it become immune to Ground-Type.
• The Prankster: The author attributes Alya having two mischievous Pokémon to her younger twin sisters, one of them being notorious for their naturally mischievous nature; Trixx, her Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox and Rotom .
• Psychic Powers: Alya's Meditite/Medicham and Trixx her Fennekin/Braixen/Delphox are part Psychic-Type while her Porygon-Z is a full Psychic-Type.
• Psycho Electro: Downplayed. Contrary to belief, Alya's Elekid/Electabuzz is a loyal Pokémon companion to his trainer even if he does he have The Gadfly tendencies. He helps keep Alya in line whenever her desire for a scoop overrides her common sense and safety. Even his tendency to shock Marinette is not out of malicious intent and only Played for Laughs.
• Secret Art: Her Meditite/Medicham has the skill Pure Power, which doubles their somewhat subpar attack.
• Secretly Selfish: Downplayed. Although Alya set up the beach date between Marinette and Adrien because she genuinely wanted her best friend to get closer to her crush, the other reason why she organized it was so it could make up to Marinette when she has to leave her for her internship that she hadn't told her yet. Alya realized how poor her timing was.
• Shipper on Deck: Naturally, being Marinette's best friend and self-proclaimed wingwoman, often encouraged Marinette to talk to Adrien more and tries to help her friend get closer to him.
• Shock and Awe: She has a number of Electric-Type Pokémon like her Elekid/Electabuzz and Rotom, which ties into her techno savviness. Her Porygon-Z also knows Zap Cannon.
• So Proud of You: She expresses this for Trixx once she evolves into a Delphox in Chapter 52, thinking back to how far the Fox Pokémon has come, starting as a lonely trickster that lived in Professor Damocles's lab for a long time before becoming a powerful ally in Alya's team.
• Soul Power: Alya's Rotom is part Ghost-Type.
• Spectacular Spinning: Alya's Elekid would spin his arms around to charge up electricity.
• Starter Mon: She started with Elekid, which is to represent Alya's usage of technology. Though Alya eventually gets the traditional Kalos Fire-type, Trixx the Fennekin/Braixen who ties into her Fox Motif.
• Super Mode: Her Medicham achieves Mega Evolution for the first time in Chapter 52.
• Tsundere: Trixx is a Type-A. She's a prideful and a prankster who'll occasionally perform the classic Tsundere gesture of folding her arms and turning away with a 'Humph!' expression. However, it's all to hide her insecurities and loneliness and she gave Alya a big Bear Hug when the bespectacled girl accepted her as part of the team.
• Transformation Trinket:
  • In Chapter 51, Alya reveals having obtained a Key Stone offscreen, supposedly by an "old acquaintance" of a Lumiose Press staff member that wanted Alya to have it, and accessorizing it as a charm for her cell phone. In addition, a few chapters ago, her Medicham found a Medichamite while they were still in Laverre City. As Delphox Rouge, she wears her Key Stone as a necklace with Medicham also wearing a necklace that holds her Medichamite.
  • As Delphox Rouge, her Key Stone is placed into a pendant shaped like Delphox's tail.
• Troll: Her Rotom, due to its stated fondness for shocking Marinette through electric appliances, particularly phones. It even electrocuted Marinette when she touched Max's possessed phone before Alya captured it back at the Lost Hotel in Chapter 49.
• Verbal Tic: She often says "girl" when speaking with Marinette.
• Virtual Ghost: Alya's Porgon-Z can travel between cyberspace.

Nino Lahiffe

Adrien's best friend and friendly rival. Nino is an aspiring DJ who is competing for the Kalos League like his best friend. He incorporates music in his battling style, making him a fun and unpredictable contender for the League. He is still loyal to Adrien and tries to help him out as much as he can. In Chapter 42, he gets turned into a Bond Hybrid after a harsh talk with Gabriel in regards to Adrien's performance in Chapter 41.

---

• Barrier Warrior: His Squirtle/Wartortle/Blastoise knows the move Protect and uses his shell to deflect attacks.
• Best Friend: To Adrien. They both support and help each other out even when they are rivals and Adrien often confides to Nino about his troubles.
• Dance Battler: He trains his Pokémon to incorporate a combination of music and dancing in their battle styles, with some pulling off some stylish attacks. His Lotad/Lombre/Ludicolo is a good example.
• Friendly Rival: He's Adrien's best friend and among the few who enjoys having a friendly Pokémon battle with him rather than viewing him as a major obstacle for the Kalos League.
• Green Thumb: His Maractus is a Grass Type while Lotad/Lombre/Ludicolo has Grass-Type as a secondary element-type.
• Making a Splash: He owns a Squirtle/Wartortle/Blastoise and Lotad/Lombre/Ludicolo, which represents his laid-back and outgoing attitude.
• Musical Assassin: He aspires to incorporate musical beats and rhythms into his battling style. It helps that he owns Pokémon that have an affinity towards sound, such as Loudred and Maractus. There's also Ludicolo, who becomes more active and powerful upon hearing music.
• Non-Elemental: He owns a Loudred who is a Normal-Type.
• One-Man Army: Nino fends off a horde of trainers who want to challenge Adrien to Pokémon battles so that he may be able to take a break. Despite tiring out, he managed to hold his own long enough for the trainers to finally give up pursuing Adrien until he leaves Lumiose City.
• Spin Attack: His Squirtle knows Rapid Spin.
• Spin to Deflect Stuff: Rapid Spin is a retroactive form, removing stage hazards and binding moves when used.
• Starter Mon: Squirtle was his first Pokémon prior to graduating from Lumiose Academy, tying into his Akuma form in the original show.
• Stone Wall: His Blastoise has excellent defense stats, but his offense stats are just average.
• Totally Radical: Wouldn't be Nino without this. Exaggerated as Bubbler X, also doubling as a Shout-Out to Guzma by copying his rather memetic lines.
• Turns Red: His Squirtle/Wartortle/Blastoise ability Torrent boosts Water attacks when his health becomes low.
• Verbal Tic: He frequently uses "dude".

Chloé Bourgeois

Marinette's old bully turned rival and Adrien's childhood friend. Daughter of the President of the Pokémon Community, she believes she's entitled to be the next Kalos Champion and Queen. While she talks big, she lacks the skills that she constantly brags about, having a less than impressive win record. After her first major loss against Marinette thanks to her Servine disobeying her, she leaves the others, presumably to train seriously than before.

---

• Alpha Bitch: She's an aggressive example; being an openly catty, petty and mean girl who's prone to throwing her father's name around to ensure she gets her way, proclaiming to be Kalos' Queen and still acts like one after graduating from Lumiose Academy. Played with though, like in the main series, she's not popular and her classmates barely tolerate her even after they graduated.
• Amazon Brigade: All of Chloé's Pokémon in her team are female, with some notably feminine.
• An Ice Person: She owns a Weavile, who knows Ice Punch and Ice Shard.
• Attack! Attack! Attack!: Whenever she's frustrated during battles, particular whenever her opponent gains the upper hand, Chloé resorts to this in battles.
• Bee Afraid: Pollen, her Vespiquen. She also knows Attack Order and Defend Order, which allow her to call upon nearby Combee to aid her in battle.
• Bee-Bee Gun: As a Vespiquen, Pollen has the ability to call upon a swarm of Combees to attack and defend on her behalf.
• Big Damn Heroes: The Vespiquen that saved Sabrina during Team Akuma's citywide attack in Chapter 39 was implied to belong to Chloé. It is pretty much confirmed as Chloé was revealed to have caught Pollen just before the class reunion in Lumiose City and Team Akuma's attack.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Not Chloé since she doesn't even hide her unpleasant disposition, but invoked via Word of God (author's bio page) in regards of Chloé getting a Flaaffy. Chloé does try to play it straight by insisting that bad things happening are never her fault.
• The Bus Came Back: After being missing for nearly twenty chapters, she makes a full appearance in Chapter 55, finding Marinette at the Anistar Sundial to challenge her for a rematch.
• Casting a Shadow: Her Murkrow/Honchkrow and Weavile, both of which are part-Dark-type.
• Catchphrase:
  • She frequently abuses her usage of the word "ridiculous" in expressing her disgust, just like in the main show.
  • In calling out her Vespiquen, she uses "Pollen, buzz on!"
• Character Tics: Like her counterpart from the main show, Pollen is shown to curtsy before her Trainer as to acknowledge her as her queen as done after defeating Marinette and Tikki in Chapter 55.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: She certainly doesn't like other girls pulling the moves on Adrien. A big reason why she actively dislikes Marinette, and later, Lila.
• Creepy Crows: Owns a Murkrow/Honchkrow.
• Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Chloé shows that if she does put in the effort, she actually has the skills to be a proficient trainer during her battle with Marinette, but is still inferior to her at the moment. In her return at Chapter 55, Chloé shows off how much stronger she's gotten since Coumarine City by defeating Marinette in a three-on-three battle.
• Determinator: Aside from pushing herself and training her Pokémon during her absence to the point she can go toe-to-toe against Marinette, a flashback in Chapter 55 reveals Chloé, in a fit of desperation in preserving what's left of her dignity, tries fighting her future Vespiquen head-on as Servine still refuses to listen to her and Vespiquen was able to disarm her of her Flaaffy's Poké Ball. Sure Vespiquen threw Chloé down every time, but her determination was enough for Servine to step in and fight off Vespiquen and give Chloé another chance.
• Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Chloé's reaction to Adrien after her Servine refuses to obey her and throws the match against Marinette.
• Enemy Mine: Subverted when the subject of Lila was brought up during Chloé's reemergence in Chapter 55 as Chloé declares that she rather get Lila to back off from Adrien by her own hands instead of teaming up with Marinette.
• Epic Fail: Chloé attempts to show off to Adrien during the informal Parfum Palace Tag Tournament that she was going to win, except that she didn’t and her match wounds up being described as the shortest one to date.
• Fragile Speedster: Her Mukrow and Weavile are both fast with good offensive stats, but both are terrible at taking hits.
• Freudian Excuse: Much like from the main show, Chapter 55 reveals Chloé's desire to be exceptional due to her neglectful mother, who left her behind at a very early age to pursue her career as a fashion critic in Unova. Because her mother was barely in her own daughter's life, Chloé never received the proper love and attention she needed to properly develop and mature, thus was presumably spoiled rotten by her father as to make up for it.
• Gemstone Assault: Pollen knows Power Gem.
• Glass Cannon: Weavile and Honchkrow. Both have excellent offensive stats and are agile, though her Honchkrow is slower than she was as Murkrow in exchange for higher HP. They both still have terrible defenses.
• Hive Queen: Pollen can command and control nearby male Combees to her aid, which is shown in her first appearance in Chapter 55. Marinette points out it's basically brainwashing.
• Irony: Her Murkrow/Honchkrow is known to be a harbinger of misfortune and her ability is Super Luck.
• Insect Queen: Her Vespiquen, Pollen. Not only can she command a swarm of Combees, but prior to Chloé capturing her, she came to defend the Combees whom were intimidated by the spoiled girl.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Her former classmates barely tolerate her stuck-up and snooty attitude back at Lumiose Trainer Academy. During the intermission of the Showcase Performance, Marinette and her friends discussed the possibility of hosting another class reunion in Lumiose City and while reluctant, decided to invite Chloé since she was part of the class.
• Green Thumb: Her Snivy/Servine is a Grass-Type.
• Kick the Dog:
  • After Marinette runs away in shame and disappointment in herself after the first Tag Team battle because she felt she failed Adrien as a partner, Chloé proceeds to mock her to which Adrien tells her off for it.
  • When her newly evolved Honchkrow defeats Marinette's Togetic in their rematch battle in Chapter 55, she starts to belittle Togetic and Marinette's ability to raise her.
• Jerkass: Chloé, nuff said, which she shares with her Snivy. Which backfires on her when Snivy evolves into a Servine and starts disobeying her.
• Look What I Can Do Now!: After returning from her long absence from the story in Chapter 55, Chloé reveals that she has gotten much stronger than before, claiming she is a new Chloé Bourgeois set to become Kalos's new queen. She mentioned that things have changed for the better for her upon capturing Pollen, which include regaining her starter's obedience after claiming victory in many battles.
• Lovable Alpha Bitch: Very downplayed, however she has shown signs of this deep down. Pollen is implied to be the Vespiquen that saved Sabrina during Team Akuma's citywide attack in Chapter 39 under Chloé's orders and in Chapter 55, she comforted her fallen Weavile after an intense fist match against Marinette's Spinda and flashbacks reveal that she protected her Servine from her future Vespiquen, despite the latter's disobedience.
• Mythology Gag:
  • In Chapter 55, the way Chloé is described to command her Honchkrow to use Sky Attack by flourishing her arms out like wings brings to mind how Paul from the Diamond & Pearl anime saga commands his Honchkrow to use that move. It somewhat helps as she also owns a Weavile like him.
  • In the same chapter, the method that Pollen administers her Toxic toxin is through pricking just like Queen Bee's Venom.
• Non-Elemental: Her Meowth/Persian is a Normal-Type.
• Only Friend: Chloé is this to Sabrina and before his enrollment to the Academy, Adrien. In Sabrina's case it gets deconstructed after she hasn't heard from Chloé since her loss to Marinette where it's clear that Sabrina is very dependent on her and has no idea where to go or what to do that doesn't involve Chloé.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The fact that Chloé didn't run crying to her father nor returned to take comfort in her suite just shows how much she has gotten serious in training her Pokémon. Her first loss against Marinette did indeed affect her, but it was the fact that her once loyal Snivy's now disobeying her since evolving into Servine that's she's taking her loss hard.
• Poisonous Person: Pollen knows Toxic, a powerful Poison-type move that worsens overtime to the point that the victim can be paralyzed by the pain alone, further referencing Queen Bee's Venom.
• Privileged Rival: She's the daughter of the current President of the Pokémon Community and owner of Lumiose's Hotel Richissime.
• The Rival: Serves as this Marinette, though currently she isn't much to be considered a serious opponent until her reappearance in Chapter 55.
• Took a Level in Badass: Her return in Chapter 55 not only displays her newfound strength by showing her newly acquired Anistar Gym Badge, but also with her newly evolved Honchkrow and the devastating powers of Pollen, her Vespiquen.
• Small Name, Big Ego: Being the daughter of the current president of the Pokémon community resulted in Chloé believing she's the best trainer to everyone except for Adrien. So far she hasn't won a single battle onscreen and Marinette proved to be a better trainer than her.
• Smug Snake: She always acts like her classmates bar Adrien are beneath her despite having a less than stellar win record thus far. Having Snivy as her starter wasn't already a hint to her snotty attitude. After her first humiliating loss against Marinette thanks to her Servine refusing to listen to her, Chloé may have become more serious in training.
• Starter Mon: Snivy, fittingly as it's said that Snivy are typically haughty SmugSnakes.
• Status Buff: Pollen knows Defend Order, which has a swarm of Combees raising her defenses.
• Stone Wall: Pollen has high defense and has the ability Pressure, making her a good staller. However, she has average offensive stats and low speed.
• Strong, but Unskilled: Chloé has been shown to be an actual good trainer if she makes an effort in it and her Pokémon are shown to be no slouch. However, Chloé relies on her Pokémon's sheer power and unlike Marinette, isn't as creative in her strategies. That being said Pollen's battle against Tikki shows Chloé capable of utilizing her Pokémon's abilities and tactics if she puts her mind to it.
• Unsportsmanlike Gloating: After Chloé won her rematch battle against Marinette in Chapter 55, she continues to rub it into Marinette's face, to the annoyance of Alya and the others.
• Victory Is Boring: Despite beating Marinette, Chloé loses the glee she had initially due to Marinette able to handle it well than she anticipated. It is also implied that Marinette being supported by Alya and the others while she had no one was another factor that left her feeling empty in her victory.
• What Happened to the Mouse?: Despite her significant rivalry with Marinette, Chloé hasn't been seen by anyone, nor has she made a full-screen appearance since her major loss to Marinette at Coumarine City in Chapter 27. Sabrina was talking to her over the phone during the Team Akuma attack aftermath in Chapter 40, but not even she knows where Chloé is at that point. She finally returns in Chapter 55 in Anistar City.
• Zerg Rush: Pollen, Chloé's Vespiquen, can summon a bunch of Combees to her aid. In Chapter 55, she displays how terrifying it is; from swarming all over Tikki so she won't escape, to chasing her when she's badly poisoned and vulnerable to their queen's attacks.

Sabrina Raincomprix

Chloé's "best friend" and daughter of the Coumarine Gym Leader. Mostly referred as Chloé's lackey back at the Academy and now, as she does most of the grunt work for Chloé, which includes training their Pokémon. When not doing Chloé's dirty work, Sabrina isn't that bad. Ever since Chloé left her after losing against Marinette, Sabrina is left on her own, at lost on what she wants for herself.

---

• Badass Bookworm: Sabrina is highly knowledgeable on Pokémon and is actually a fairly competent trainer of her own right because her father is the Coumarine Gym Leader. Unfortunately, she has to pick up after Chloé, which holds her back; unable to perform as well as she could.
• Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: She usually has to follow Chloé's orders and is dependent on her that Sabrina doesn't consider what she herself wants; which extends to lacking any ambition of her own. When Chloé leaves after losing to Marinette, Sabrina has been unable to contact her, leaving her clueless on what to do next.
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Likely due to her association with Chloé, but downplayed as the others don't personally have a problem with her when she's not around Chloé.
• Green Thumb: Her starter is a Bulbasaur/Ivysaur, likely because her father is the Coumarine Gym Leader.
• Hollywood Chameleons: Owns a Kecleon, whose Chameleon Camouflage is meant to reference her akumatized form, Vanisher.
• I Just Want to Have Friends: In Chapter 30, Sabrina shows shades of it due to her association with Chloé. Nathaniel, of all people, points it out.
• Poisonous Person: Her Bulbasaur/Ivysaur are part Poison-Type.
• Non-Elemental: Her Kecleon is a Normal-Type.
• Status Infliction Attack: Her Bulbasaur/Ivysaur knows Poison Powder.
• Starter Mon: Bulbasaur, which is to connect her ties to the Coumarine Gym, which specializes in Grass-Types. In addition, it's to show how she follows Chloé and is submissive to her whims.
• Vine Tentacles: Her Bulbasaur/Ivysaur naturally knows Vine Whip.

Alix Kubdel

Marinette and Adrien's tomboyish classmate hailing from Shalour City, known for having a fierce rivalry with Kim. Comes from a family that descended from the original Trainer who first used Mega Evolution in Kalos with their Lucario. Her father is the leading guru of Mega Evolution while her older brother is the current Shalour Gym Leader. Alix is destined to eventually inherit the Gym Leader position, but for now, is proving to be a wild contender for the Kalos League with her speed-oriented battle style.

---

• Badass Adorable: Several of her Pokémons are rather cute before they evolved, such as her Torchic, Tyrogue and Pikachu/Raichu.
• Bare-Fisted Monk: She owns a Tyrogue and after her Torchic evolves into Combusken and finally Blaziken, she becomes a part Fighting-Type, which fits her competitive, stubborn and tomboyish personality. Bonus points that her family runs a Gym that specializes in Fighting-Types.
• Brutal Honesty: Alix is rather blunt in her approach to things, to the point it can come off as rude.
• Capoeira: Once her Tyrogue evolves into a Hitmontop, which fits with Alix's Speed-oriented tactics and her love for rollerblading.
• Crippling Overspecialization: Alix's preference for Speed-oriented Pokémon and reliance on a hit-and-run tactic can be exploited when it becomes linear and predictable that her opponents can counter them or moves that would render High Speed stats moot, such as Trick Room.
• Deadpan Snarker: She more or less lampshades Team Akuma's tacky wardrobe, all the while she and Marinette were cornered by them in Chapter 39 no less.
• Death or Glory Attack: Her Pikachu knows Volt Tackle, which cause recoil damage to the user.
• Everyone Has Standards: She may be an enthusiastic Pokémon battler who wouldn't mind a good showdown, but even she thought the brutal fist-fight between Marinette's Spinda and Chloé's Weavile was too much for her to witness.
• Fragile Speedster: Pikachu is speedy, but frail.
• Gagging on Your Words: Having been the battle judge for Marinette and Chloé in Chapter 55, in the which the latter wins, Alix finds having to announce the decision tastes worse than her sweaty socks while sticking her tongue out.
• Hidden Depths:
  • Despite not into girly things, Alix appreciates Pokémon Showcases.
  • Alix's favorite mythical Pokémon are Celebi and Dialga.
• Hot-Blooded: She rivals Kim in that department among other things. She's even like this when watching Pokémon Showcases as Nathaniel can attest to.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Alix may be a tough and stubborn girl who won't always be agreeable, but she's a loyal friend who won't back down when others are in danger.
• Jerkass Has a Point: While she could've been nicer about it, Alix vents out her frustration over Marinette's obsession over Adrien in Chapter 56, possibly as a subtle Take That! towards Marinette's behavior in the early aired episodes of Season Three in the main show. Though there is a significant difference that here, Marinette had more than four years to make her move and actually progress her relationship with Adrien instead of moping about it.
• Lightning Bruiser: Her Yanmega and Blaziken.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: The tough Masculine Girl to Nathaniel's passive Feminine Boy.
• The Napoleon: She's stated to be short compared to the others yet it doesn't stop her from being one of the most competitive Pokémon trainers gunning for the Kalos League and can be aggressive if she wants. Her Pikachu/Raichu mirrors this perfectly, being a small mouse-like Pokémon who can put up a fight.
• Odd Friendship: A competitive and passionate tomboy who dislikes girly things like her is best friends with Nathaniel, a quiet Pokémon artist figuring out his place in the world. To add on, they both own a Fire Starter (Torchic and Cyndaquil respectively) and one of the special starter Pokémon (Pikachu and Eevee respectively again).
• Parental Favoritism: Jalil believes their father favors her because she'll take over the position of Gym Leader once she's of age.
• Passionate Sports Girl: Just like in the show, Alix is passionate about her rollerblading skills and is a major competitor in the upcoming Kalos League. Her Hitmontop even reflects on her competiveness nature.
• Privileged Rival: She's the younger sister of the current Shalour Gym Leader, Jalil Kubdel, whom took over the position from their father, who's the leading researcher on Mega Evolution.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The fiery Red Oni to Nathaniel's mellow Blue Oni.
• The Rival: She has been Kim's fierce rival for a long time that he proclaims that he'll reserve her family's Gym for last.
• Rollerblade Good: Outside of Pokémon battles, she takes rollerblading very seriously. She's a speed demon when on rollerblades and meets up with Marinette and Alya while rollerblading with a group in Chapter 10. She even mentions the Shalour Gym battlefield grounds for rollerblading and wanted to learn a special rollerblading move by the Twirling Whirlwind in Chapter 49. Both her Pikachu/Raichu and Yanma/Yanmega are speedster masters like her.
• Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: With Nathaniel, shown in the Parfum Palace tag battle tournament.
• Shock and Awe: Alix's Pikachu/Raichu.
• Spin Attack: Naturally, Alix's Hitmontop, who also knows Rolling Kick.
• Starter Mon: Alix's partner was her Torchic back in her Lumiose Academy days, both to represent her fiery and tomboyish personality and as a Foil to Kim. She also owns a Pikachu, who is considered a special Starter Mon.
• Tomboy: She has a spirted and tough personality, enjoys roller-blading and Pokémon battles, and owns several robust-looking Pokémon.
• Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Marinette noted that Alix's Pikachu has a heart-shaped tail, indicating she's a female.
• This Is Gonna Suck: Alix's reaction when Marianne used Trick Room against Marinette in her Gym Battle is of dread in Chapter 56 due to the move having a detrimental effect on Pokémon with high speed.
• Youngest Child Wins: She's expected to inherit the Shalour Gym Leader position from her brother once she is of age and is eventually given her family's precious heirloom Key Stone watch after she beat her brother in a Gym battle.

Nathaniel Kurtzberg

A quiet, redheaded classmate with artistic passion and unrequited feelings towards Marinette, though it seems he has gotten over her for the most part since graduating from the Academy. Unlike the rest of his classmates, Nathaniel isn't driven to compete in the Kalos League and is more interested in drawing out Pokémon he encounters during his travels. He does, however, appear supportive of Juleka and Rose in their pursuit to becoming Kalos Queen as he is fascinated by the artistry of Pokémon Showcase performances.

---

• Art Attacker: To fit his artistic theme, he owns a Smeargle and a Horsea/Seadra, the latter due to the ability to spit ink. In addition, Nathaniel is able to utilize his artistic sense for impressive move combinations for battles and potentially performances.
• Fiery Redhead: Inverted, as he's one of quietest former classmates with Juleka. His starter Cyndaquil/Quilava mirrors his timid personality.
• Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: While he is currently content with drawing Pokémon he encounters in his travels, he seems to veering into this, feeling he wants to do more than just sketch.
• Confusion Fu: His Smeargle can learn any moveset and can copy other Pokémon's powers with Sketch.
• Making a Splash: His Horsea/Seadra.
• Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: The quiet Feminine Boy with soft features to Alix's tomboyish and aggressive Masculine Girl.
• Moon Rabbit: Nathaniel's Umbreon after he evolved.
• Non-Elemental: His Smeargle and Eevee are both Normal-Types before the latter evolved into Umbreon.
• Odd Friendship: A non-action Pokémon artist who's still unsure of which career path to go into like him is best friends with Alix, a Hot-Blooded Tomboy who'll eventually become the next Shalour Gym Leader. They also both own a Fire Starter (Cyndaquil and Torchic respectively), and the unique starter Pokémon (Eevee and Pikachu respectively again).
• Only Sane Man: Figuratively and literally in Chapter 54 when sitting with Alix, Marinette, and Alya during the Anistar Showcase, with Nathaniel wishing his friends were a little less high strung.
• Power Copying: His Smeargle can use Sketch to permanently copy the last move his target uses.
• Playing with Fire: His starter is a Cyndaquil/Quilava.
• Psychic Powers: His Munna/Musharna is a Psychic-Type.
• The Quiet One: Is almost as quiet as Juleka, but he's more expressive around Alix. His Umbreon represents his quiet personality.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: The good-tempered Blue Oni to Alix's aggressive Red Oni.
• Ridiculously Cute Critter: Several Pokémon he has are pretty adorable, such as his Cyndaquil, Eevee/Umbreon, Horsea and Munna/Musharna.
• Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: With Alix, shown in the Parfum Palace tag battle tournament.
• Starter Mon: A Cyndaquil with a similar timid personality as his. He also owns an Eevee, who is also considered as another special Starter Mon.
• Support Party Member: He's partnered with Alix during the Parfum Tag-team battle and Alix is the one to lead the pair in both battle and strategies while Nathaniel follows and provide support. Justified since Nathaniel is an artist, not a fighter and Alix is the more experienced battler between the two of them. His Smeargle shares this trait with him; he's no powerhouse, but his versatility allows him to pull off unique combos from behind the scenes.
• Weak, but Skilled: Like Rose and Juleka, Nathaniel isn't interested in being a full-time Pokémon trainer like the rest of his former classmates gunning for the Kalos League. That being said, the Parfum Tag-Team battle shows that Nathaniel does utilize his artistic sense to produce surprisingly impressive and effective attacks. His Smeargle displays this perfectly too.

Lê Chiên Kim

The boisterous jock classmate of Marinette and Adrien from the Academy who shares an intense rivalry with Alix and is Max's best friend. Not the brightest bulb out there, but prefers brute force and pure power in his Pokémon battles any day. Kim plans to overwhelm the competition in the Kalos League, but not before he proves to Alix that he's the better Trainer.

---

• Always Accurate Attack: His Machop/Machoke has the ability No Guard, meaning any move he has will always hit the opponent, even if the target is in a semi-invulnerable stage. Unfortunately, that also applies to any move against him as well, which both advantage and disadvantage were shown in the Tag Team Finals.
• Bare-Fisted Monk: Tying into his boisterous attitude, his love for training, and rivalry with Alix, he owns a few Fighting-Type Pokémon. His Machop/Machoke is a pure Fighting-Type while his Hawlucha is part Fighting-Type and Xuppu becomes part Fighting-Type once he evolves into Monferno.
• Book Dumb: He admits that he isn't as booksmart as Max is.
• Brains and Brawn: The overwhelming Brawn to Max's Brains, which is prominent during the Parfum Palace tag-team battle. This combination gave Marinette and Adrien a hard time in the final round. His Machop/Machoke perfectly fits this trope.
• Charles Atlas Superpower: He compares training for the Leagues no different from training for a marathon; to be in top physical shape and improving your stamina to last in the finals. Thus, he trains his Pokémon's endurance and master powerful moves. As a result some of his Pokémon can be both hard-hitters and durable, like his Machop/Machoke, bonus for having the stamina and strength to make good use of his No Guard Ability.
• Competition Freak: Like in the main series, Kim enjoys sports, Pokémon battles and making bets (though, as of Chapter 10, he isn't allow to make bets for a year after losing his last bet). He is one of the few competitive contenders for the Kalos League, along with Alix.
• Dishing Out Dirt: Upon evolution, his Marshtomp/Swampert becomes part Ground-Type. His Claydol is also part Ground-Type.
• Hot-Blooded: He rivals Alix in that department, especially during a competition, sport events or battles.
• Jerk Jock: He can dip into this sometimes because of his arrogance and cocky attitude, not to mention headstrong in his battling style. Even his Machop/Machoke perfectly mirrors his jock personality and arrogance.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While still hotheaded and occasionally rude, he is generally kind and he helped the Parfum Palace's owner find his Furfrou. As thanks, the owner allowed him to organize the class reunion in Parfum Palace.
• Lovable Jock: Despite his boastful nature, he still cares about his former classmates and with the help of the Parfum Place owner, organized a class reunion party so they can both test their current skills and meet up with each other. He even complements Max's strategies during their tag-team battle.
• Making a Splash: His Mudkip/Marshtomp/Swampert and he knows Water Gun.
• Mighty Glacier: His Machop/Machoke and Swampert.
• Monkey King Lite: Chapter 61 reveals that he got a Chimchar named Xuppu from a trade, as a reference to being the wielder of the Monkey Miraculous. It would evolve into Monferno after using it to battle Marinette and Ayla alongside Ondine in a double battle.
• Oblivious to Love: When he reunites with Ondine in Chapter 61, he fails to pick on her obvious crush on him.
• Odd Friendship: The hotheaded and burly jock who loves battles, is close friends with Max, the smartest trainer from their class. In fact, they worked well together that their brain-brawn combo nearly won the Parfum Tag-Team battle.
• Playing with Fire: Got a Chimchar through a trade prior Chapter 61.
• Power Incontinence: Xuppu's Swagger, meant to reference King Monkey's Uproar, sharply increases the attack power of the target, but induces confusion as a result.
• Psychic Powers: Kim's Claydol is half Psychic-Type.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Kim is the hotheaded and brash Red Oni to Max's collected and strategic Blue Oni.
• The Rival: He has been Alix's sworn rival since their Academy days and whenever they are in the same room, it's expected that they would immediately battle each other.
• Starter Mon:
  • Mudkip, as a foil to Alix's Torchic.
  • He later gets a Chimchar, a Fire-type starter of Sinnoh, nicknamed Xuppu from a trade.
• Strong, but Unskilled: Unlike Max's tactical approach to battles, Kim focuses more enduring and hitting harder till his opponent is down. His Machop/Machoke best shows this with his ability No Guard.

Max Kanté

Marinette and Adrien's highly intelligent classmate from the Academy and Kim's best friend, known for his use of sophisticated scientific vocabulary and tendency to spout out statistical facts regarding Pokémon moves and related physiology. In direct contrast to Kim, Max prioritizes clever strategy over power in his battles, which would surely make him quite the tricky opponent to deal with when faced in the Kalos League.

---

• Agent Scully: As someone who relies on logic and numbers, Max would be the last person to admit that the Scary House rumors might be more than just Ghost-Type Pokémon playing around. Although his shaking legs might indicate otherwise.
• Badass Bookworm: As The Smart Guy, Max is big on strategic planning in his Pokémon battles and was described by Adrien to be the top of the class in the written portion of the exams.
• Bat Out of Hell: He owns a Zubat/Golbat/Crobat but she isn't villainous in anyway.
• Blow You Away: His Zubat/Golbat/Crobat is part Flying-Type and knows Air Cutter.
• Brains and Brawn: The analytic Brains to Kim's Brawn, which is highlighted during the Parfum Palace tag-team battle, both giving Marinette and Adrien a hard time. His starter, Abra/Kadabra naturally reflects this.
• Did Not See That Coming: One of things that can throw off Max's strategies are whenever his opponent improvises on the spot or pure luck. He and Kim were thrown off when Marinette and Adrien's Pokémon managed to survive their combo attack through sheer luck that has a low chance of occurring. Even Max commented that luck is a factor that is unpredictable.
• Extra Oredinary: Owns a Metang
• Flaw Exploitation: He takes advantage of Type-weaknesses and analyzes his opponents' battle style to find a way around it. This is shown in Chapter 49 in his battle against Alix, with him aware of Alix's preference for speed and agility with a hit-and-run tactic.
• Fragile Speedster: His Seedot/Nuzleaf/Shiftry and Zubat/Golbat/Crobat are extremely fast, especially the former during the Parfum Palace Tag-Team battle where Max uses Sunny Day to activate his Chlorophyll ability which increases Seedot's Speed.
• Glass Cannon: Max's Abra and his Evolutionary Line are known to have very high Special Attack and Speed stats, letting them deal massive damage. Yet they are extremely frail in their defense, especially towards physical attacks.
• Good with Numbers: Max never misses the chance to make calculations on possibilities.
• Green Thumb: His Nuzleaf/Shiftry is a Grass-Type.
• Humongous Mecha: Owns a Golurk, which is meant as a reference to the giant robot Gamer battles with.
• Living Statue: Owns a Golurk
• Mind Manipulation: His Zubat/Golbat/Crobat knows Confuse Ray.
• Motor Mouth: Whenever he goes on his techno talk or calculations, to the point someone has to interrupt him to stop.
• Odd Friendship: He's a strategist who relies on deductive reasoning and logic who is close friends with Kim, the local competitive, hard-hitting jock. They work so well that their brain-brawn tactics let them nearly win the Parfum Tag-Team battle.
• Poisonous Person: His Zubat/Golbat/Crobat is part Poison-Type.
• Psychic Powers: His Abra/Kadabra is a Psychic-Type.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Max is the analytical and strategic Blue Oni to Kim's brash and straight-forward Red Oni.
• Starter Mon: His first Pokémon is Abra as to highlight his intellect.
• The Strategist: Going by his brain tactics, Max's Pokémon aren't all powerful, so he makes up for it by being a very good strategist, making very good use of basic techniques and common sense. This however, is his Achilles' Heel— he thinks things through so logically and by-the-book that unexpected results and outside-the-box strategies catch him by surprise, throwing his strategies off that lead to his defeat. He and Kim nearly lost it when Alya and Nino pulled off their water and electric combo move and later, he was taken back when luck was a factor that helped Marinette and Adrien win.
• Smart People Wear Glasses: Max wears Nerd Glasses and was the top in Marinette's class in the theoretical portion of the exams.
• Teleport Spam: Abra, which came in handy in Chapter 11 when Abra saved both him and Kim's Machop from Alya's Elekid's and Nino's Lotad's combo attack during the first round in the Tag-Team battle.
• Weak, but Skilled: Max's team isn't a powerhouse compared to Kim's, but he does make good use of his Pokémon's versatility and takes advantage of his environment and Type-weaknesses.

Ivan Bruel

A big, strong, and silent classmate who's notably Mylène's boyfriend at the start of the story. He and Mylène are traveling together to become a powerful battling couple. Ivan also has the distinction of being Team Akuma's first victim and Bond Hybrid.

---

• Battle Couple: He and Mylène are traveling together to become the greatest battle couple. This helps them be in sync during the Parfum Palace Tag-Team Battle. He even has a Nidorino as his starter that mirrors his relationship with Mylène.
• Bruiser with a Soft Center: He appears like a standard tough guy and owns several tough Pokémon like a Rhyhorn, but is kind and gentle with Mylène and cares for his former classmates. His Poochyena/Mightyena best mirrors his tough, but loyal self.
• Dishing Out Dirt: His Rhyhorn is a dual Ground and Rock-Type.
• Distressed Dude: In Chapter 20, he becomes first known victim to Team Akuma. Doubles as a Shout-Out to the fact that he was chronologically the first Akumatized victim in Miraculous Ladybug.

• Poisonous Person: His male Nidoran is a full-fledged Poison-Type.
• Power Up Mount: His Rhyhorn is used as a ride for him and Mylène when they along with Marinette and the others were heading to Glittering Cave.
• Starter Mon: Starts with a male Nidoran to complement Mylène's female Nidoran.

Mylène Haprèle

One of Marinette's friends from the Academy and is Ivan's girlfriend. Kind but cowardly, she and Ivan are traveling together to become a strong battling couple with the additional hopes of becoming braver along the way. Mylène takes a major step in courage in helping Lady Ledian and Liepard Noir save Ivan.

---

• Apologetic Attacker: When she and Ivan were competing against Marinette and Adrien in the Tag-team battle in Chapter 11, she apologies to Marinette before ordering her Pokémon on her opponent.

• Emotion Bomb: Her Flabébé/Floette knows Attract.
• Green Thumb: Her Tangela/Tangrowth is a Gras-Type.
• Irony: Mylène is a Lovable Coward and owns a Shuppet/Banette.
• Lovable Coward: She was scared in venturing to the deeper parts of Glittering Cave, which was why she and Ivan went to another direction. It is deconstructed as she and Ivan were separated from the others and made them more susceptible to Team Akuma's attack and she was used as a hostage by their attackers, resulting in Ivan being kidnapped in return for her safety. However, she is still a competent trainer and she and her Shuppet were able to distract a brainwashed Ivan and his Rhyhorn long enough for the Defenders of Kalos to save him.
• Poisonous Person: To compliment her boyfriend's male Nidoran, her female Nidoran is a pure Poison-Type too.
• The So-Called Coward: After Team Akuma kidnapped Ivan, Mylène blames herself for not being strong enough to stop them calls herself a coward. Then when her brainwashed boyfriend wrecks havoc in Geosenge Town, she was brave enough to help the heroes in separating him from his Rhyhorn.

Rose Lavillant

A perky and petite girl known for her love of all things cute and pink who is Juleka's best friend.

• Dance Battler: Her Bellossom and she knows Petal Dance, though she instead of battles, Rose uses it in her Showcase Performances.
• Failed a Spot Check: During her tag-battle with Juleka against Alix and Nathaniel, she was hoping her Jigglypuff's Cute Charm ability would cause the opposing Pokémon to be infatuated with Jigglypuff. She forgot that with the exception of Juleka's Gastly, all the Pokémon on the field were female.
• Friendly Rival: She and Juleka are best friends and Pokémon Performer rivals who both cheer and push the other to do their best.
• Genki Girl: Rose is a bubbly, energetic and cheerful girl that she manages to outdo Marinette and gets excited in watching a Pokémon battle. Though she seems more level-headed during Showcases compared to battles. She even owns a Bellossom to reflect her cheerful nature.
  Juleka: It's also kinda why we veered away from battling to do Showcases. Once Rose gets going on something, she can't stop. Compared to battles, Showcases are subdued enough to keep her from going crazy.
• Graceful Loser: She was happy that Juleka won her first Showcase in Chapter 50, not minding that she herself lost. It helps that she finally got to meet Prince Ali, which made her day.
• Green Thumb: She owns several Grass-Type Pokémon, such as her Budew/Roselia and Bellossom, which she uses their fragrance as part of her Showcase performances. Roselia in particular is connected to her rose motif.

• Light Is Good: Rose wears light clothing, has several brightly colored Pokémon and is a total sweetheart.
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Rose is the bubbly, romantic and cheerful Light Feminine to Juleka's calm, more introverted and subdued Dark Feminine.

• Magic Music: Naturally, Rose's Jigglypuff's signature lullaby, which sends enemies to sleep and she uses this in her Showcase Performances.

• Our Fairies Are Different: Her starter was Igglybuff. She also owns a Spritzee.
• Pink Means Feminine: Rose's favorite color, which she's seen wearing in and out of Pokémon Showcases. She even made it her signature color in her Showcase performances and her starter, Igglybuff/Jigglypuff, is pink and a female.

• Wide-Eyed Idealist: Rose is one of the most optimistic and idealistic characters.

Juleka Couffaine

A very quiet girl with a gothic appearance fascinated with the scary. She is Rose's best friend and Luka's younger sister. Despite her shy personality and her tendency to mumble her words, she follows Rose and tries her hand in Pokémon Showcases as well, becoming her friendly rival in the process. Because she is not used to having a lot of attention on herself, Juleka loses her first Showcase, leaving her much think about what it means for her to be Kalos Queen in the first place.

---

• Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Juleka's quiet and introverted demeanor, along with her appearance and preference for dark clothes and Pokémon may have others peg her as one. She's a subversion, as she's actually a shy and awkward (albeit kind) girl. Although her Showcases performances seem to play it straight in order to enhance the enchanting atmosphere of her performance.
• Affectionate Nickname: Luka sometimes calls her "Jul" for short, revealed in Chapter 59.
• Barrier Warrior: Her Gothita/Gothorita knows Reflect while Mime Jr. has the Barrier Move.
• Blinded by the Light: What causes Juleka to lose the Couriway Showcase in Chapter 59. Due to her being used to the darkness of indoor stages, Couriway Town's outdoor theatre is a new environment that proves tough for Juleka on top of the competition being even harder now that she would need one more Princess Key at this point. The sun overhead winds up temporarily blinding her for her finale in the final round, nearly flubbing her routine and costing her some votes.
• Casting a Shadow: Her Gastly/Haunter can learn Dark-type moves naturally and the Ghost-Type moves he knows like Shadow Punch and Night Shadow have a darkness flavor to them. Her preference for shrouding in shadows in her Showcase performances also helps her in coping with stage fright while performing.
• Dark Is Not Evil: Juleka's quiet, who prefers dark clothing and her team mostly consists of Ghost-Type Pokémon, and is a Nice Girl. This extends to her Pokémon who are known to have disturbing profiles in the Pokédex, but have shown to be nothing but supportive for their trainer's goal.
• Elegant Gothic Lolita: During her Showcase Performance, Juleka's Gothita/Gothorita is described to be wearing a gothic lolita outfit.

• Goth: Her fashion style both in and out of Pokémon Showcases. Also, her starter Pokémon is a Gothita.
• Goth Girls Know Magic: Her Gothita/Gothorita is a Psychic-Type and she's designed closely to Gothic Lolita fashion and Juleka expresses interest in the idea of having psychic powers in Chapter 56.
• Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Her Performer outfit is described to be purple, invoking an image of elegance and mystery in her performance.
• Green Thumb: Her Gourgeist is part Grass-Type.
• Head Pet: In Chapter 1, her Gothita was seen resting on top of her head.
• Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: Juleka is the quiet, calm and mature Dark Feminine to Rose's upbeat, lovable and childish Light Feminine. Juleka has several ghoulish and elegant Pokémons. Her Showcase performances are dark Gothic themed that uses little yet still shows great showmanship, as Alya described her as a "mysterious beauty whose performance will leave you wanting more".
• Making a Splash: Her Jellicent is part Water-Type.
• Master of Illusion: Juleka's Gastly/Haunter have this ability, which is helpful during her Showcase Performances.
• Nightmare Fetishist: She has several Ghost-Type Pokémon such as a Haunter and enjoys spooky things.
• Our Ghosts Are Different: Half of her team is composed of Ghost-types. They include Gastly/Haunter, Jellicent, and Gourgeist. In Chapter 55, she actually thought a Darkrai visiting them in the dead of night would be cool unlike Marinette.
• Poisonous Person: Her Gastly/Haunter is part Poison-Type.
• The Prankster: While he doesn't have the Prankster ability, her Gastly/Haunter are known to be practical jokers for various reasons. He even uses this in Juleka's Showcase Performances, such as bringing out a violin out of nowhere.
• Psychic Powers: Her starter is Gothita/Gothorita and owns a Mime Jr.
• The Quiet One: She's known to not say much whenever interacting with others.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: Juleka is the quiet and calm Blue Oni to Rose's more girly and outspoken Red Oni.
• Shrinking Violet: She's quite shy, and this initially caused her a slight hiccup during her first Showcase. Chapter 59 reveals that she's still struggling with stage fright and the prospect of performing on an outdoor stage as opposed to an indoor stage almost leads to a panic attack that she managed to withheld until the end of the first round.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: The decided dynamic between her and Luka. Though they have similar tastes in fashion, Juleka is a known Shrinking Violet who likes and owns Ghost-type Pokémon while Luka is more outgoing and charming and specializes with Fairy-types, which fits as his new role as the Laverre City Gym Leader. However, Luka does focus on the more realistic and darker aspects of Fairy-types, constantly referring to their "hidden fangs" during Marinette's Gym battle against him in Chapter 46.
• Soul Power: She has a number of Ghost-Type Pokémon of variety, such as Gastly/Haunter, Jellicent and Gourgeist.
• Starter Mon: Gothita, who represents her Goth personality and fashion.
• You Taste Delicious: During the Tag-Team battle, her Gastly used Lick on Nathaniel's Cyndaquil, who reacted with dread.
