Trivia
- Despite Perrin's Growlithe being referred to as male in the core series games, it is female in Pokémon Masters EX. This discrepency does not occur with any other sync pair.
- All versions of Perrin use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon). Those Trainers include Viola, Adaman, Florian, and Juliana.
- Perrin also uses special voice-over lines upon winning a battle with Adaman, Florian, or Juliana on the same team.
Origin
Perrin's design is based on her appearance in The Teal Mask expansion of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Hisuian Growlithe is a Pokémon that Perrin owns and usually keeps outside of its Poké Ball, though she is not seen battling with it in the core series games. Growlithe's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
