* Sonia shares her Japanese voice actor, Lynn, with her counterpart from the [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]] miniseries.
* Sonia shares her Japanese voice actor, Lynn, with her counterpart from the [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]] miniseries.
* Since version 2.19.0, all versions of Sonia share:
* All versions of Sonia use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon). Those Trainers include {{mas|Victor}}, {{mas|Gloria}}, {{mas|Hop}}, {{mas|Nessa}}, {{mas|Leon}}, and {{mas|Professor Oak}}.
** One unique voiced line upon entering a team that contains {{mas|Gloria}}, {{mas|Leon}}, {{mas|Hop}}, {{mas|Nessa}}, or {{mas|Professor Oak}}—one line for each Trainer. If two are present upon Sonia's entry, then she uses one special line at random. This voice-over always takes priority over Sonia's usual entry line.
** Sonia also uses special voice-over lines upon winning a battle with Victor, Gloria, Hop, Nessa, or Leon in the same team.
*** Nessa and Leon each also have one such quote if they enter Sonia's team, but they don't have such lines for each other.
** One conversion with either Nessa or Leon after one of them wins a battle with her. If all three win a battle together, then one two-person dialogue that includes Sonia is chosen randomly. This conversation always overrides the center trainer's victory quote, even if they're excluded from the chat. Leon and Nessa lack such an exchange with each other.
* Sonia has the shortest gap between becoming playable (since December 23, 2021) and being playable in an alternate sync pair (since April 7, 2022), which totals 105 days.
* Ignoring [[Scottie]] and [[Bettie]], Sonia is one of only four Trainers to form a sync pair with a [[Shiny Pokémon]]. The others are {{mas|Steven}}, {{mas|Morty}}, and {{mas|Hilda}}.
