The game states that her viewers' reactions are more important to Iono than victory in battle, though she does feel some genuine regret for what she feels was going too far to create content as shown when talking to [[Clavell]] at the [[League Club]]. She perks up when he reveals he actually quite liked the name "Mr. Walksabout."<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDClavell>''"Well, I actually thought the name “Walksabout” was rather charming and whimsical. I cannot deny it was an excellent moniker. You clearly have an aptitude for naming things." - Clavell <br> "P-please! Stop taking this so well! I’m gonna faint from sheer embarrassment!" - Iono''</ref> Although she appears to be clueless as to why, Iono's viewers tend to soar higher whenever she loses in a battle, as stated by her on the condition that the player loses in their rematch at Blueberry Academy.<ref name=SVTIDRematchLoss>''"Nyahaha! Who won this time? I know, Iono! But my viewer numbers zoomed up way less than usual! Whyfore?!" - Iono''</ref>

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. In her conversations with the player, she reveals that she's taking this opportunity at the Academy for her next stream, coming up with the title '''“Gym Leader Iono INFILTRATES this WEIRD ACADEMY! You won’t BELIEVE what she finds!”'''<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDIonoClickbait>''"Lemme hit you with the eyeball-snatching title I brainstormed for my next stream... “Gym Leader Iono INFILTRATES this WEIRD ACADEMY! You won’t BELIEVE what she finds!”" - Iono''</ref> She then asks the player what her focus should be on, and if the player suggests [[Cyrano|the director,]] she describes how risky it could be to bring on a "snoozer guest", and how it'd be a "Top 10 Iono Betrayals moment..."<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDCyranoRoast>"''The...director? Like, the boss-man guy? You sure? Sounds kinda bori— uh, risky! If I bring on a snoozer guest, that’d be a real Top 10 Iono Betrayals moment..." - Iono''</ref> If suggested in their initial meeting, Iono will report back on her second visit to the League Club that Cyrano's appearance made her viewer count rise dramatically due to his natural charisma.<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDCyranoRedemption>''"The moment Mister Director-guy came on stream, my viewer count went WHOOSH! To the moon!!! Where’d that guy even come from?! No way was that his first time on a stream! He was so magnetic he even stole MY thunder! Who gets more eyeballs than me?! I ’unno!" - Iono''</ref> After beating her in a rematch, she will give the player the [[List of clothing (Scarlet and Violet)#Rotom Phone|Iono Zone Case]] as a gift, which she describes as an ''"SSS-tier drop!"''<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDPhoneCase>''"...Meh! Viewer numbers are viewer numbers! As thanks, here’s an SSS-tier drop! Some mega-exclusive Iono merch!" - Iono''</ref>

===Appearance===

[[File:Iono concept art.jpg|thumb|right|Iono's Scarlet & Violet [[Appendix:Glossary (Production)|settei]]]]

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 {{p|Magnemite}}. Although they do not appear to be Pokémon, described by Iono in her reveal trailer simply as "fancy shmancy hair clips",<ref name=IonoZone/> they seem to be able to animate and move around on their own. Her concept art in both the games and anime show that the hair clips are able to mimic her reactions, such as when Iono is in a state of shock or anger. Various appearances show them accentuating her reactions, such as spinning around her head cartoonishly when she is stunned. 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 actual Magnemite. They also appear to be able to act independently, as they once went on what Iono describes as a "bzzt-bzzt-smash rampage" in [[Chargestone Cavern]].<ref name=SVGameScriptTIDMagnemite></ref> Strangely, Iono never uses any Pokémon from the Magnemite family on her team, although she offers to trade a Magnemite 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 with the arms of her coat. The '''dainty''' [[Battle style (game mechanic)#Throwing styles|throwing style]] that the player can obtain at the [[League Club Room|League Club]] is identical to the one used by Iono in battle, and is shared with [[Poppy]].

==In literature==

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game!===

'''Monjana''' (Japanese: '''もんじゃな''' ''Monjana''), a [[cross-canon counterpart]] of Iono, appeared in the Scarlet & Violet arc of [[Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game! Scarlet & Violet Arc|Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game!]], where she battles against the protagonists. Her deck is themed around {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, such as {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Pawmi}}, and often mentions how lucky she is at the game.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2daSvA7MizU</ref> Monjana's personality appears to be similar to that of Iono's in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, as she maintains a thoroughly smug attitude throughout both of her battles, though her design is radically different. The {{p|Magnemite}}-shaped hairclips have been replaced with [[Master Ball]]s, 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.

==In the TCG==

{{main|Iono (Paldea Evolved 185)}}

Iono was introduced as a {{TCG|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 {{TCG|Clay Burst}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Paldea Evolved}} expansion. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card were released in the same sets. The card makes both players return their hand to the bottom of their deck, and draw a new hand consisting of as many cards as they have {{tcg|Prize card}}s remaining.
