Trivia

Origin

Zinnia's design is based on her appearance in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. While Zinnia does not own a Rayquaza in the core series games, they both play a notable role during Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire's Delta Episode, with Zinnia summoning Rayquaza to the Sky Pillar, her teaching it Dragon Ascent after the player has caught it, and it gaining the ability to Mega Evolve after learning the aforementioned move. Rayquaza's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Omega Ruby.

Salamence is Zinnia's signature Pokémon in the core series games. Salamence's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
