Tina (Japanese: リッカ Ricca) is a character introduced in Pokémon Masters EX. She forms a sync pair with Flareon. This pair can be obtained through a Poké Fair sync pair scout beginning on September 4, 2023. This pair can be raised to 6★ EX since it first released.

In the games

Tina has been friends with Paulo ever since they were little. As little children, they used to take care of a wild Dratini together. One day, Dratini was caught by a Collector who wished to profit from the products that could be made of Dratini's shed skin. While this caused Paulo to become fixated in becoming stronger so that he'd never have to experience things like this again, Tina instead decided to prioritize making memories and spending as much time as she could with her Pokémon, a visit to a Pokémon graveyard having shown her that no matter what, the time she has with her Pokémon is limited, so she should make the most of it. Eventually, both Tina and Paulo left their hometown to start their journeys.

Villain Arc

Tina first arrives on Pasio soon after the end of the first Pokémon Masters League tournament. She feels dismayed upon learning that she missed the tournament, but congratulates Paulo on making it to the main tournament, despite him losing early on. She immediately starts training in preparation for the next tournament, but during one training match, she notices Paulo using an uncharacteristically reckless tactic to win. Later, Tina and Paulo are confronted by a pair of Team Rocket Grunts, but before they can beat them, Giovanni and several more Grunts appear, easily overwhelming Tina and Paulo with their sheer numbers. However, Giovanni lets them off the hook, prioritizing his big schemes over minor Pokémon theft.

This defeat causes Paulo to start relying on Pokémon he loans from Lear instead of his Rockruff to become stronger, which Tina disapproves. The two are approached by Colress, who explains how both good and bad people can use sync stones, because even evil connections still count as connections. Looker also requests that the two bodyguard Colress from Team Rocket, which they accept. Later, meeting up with the player and Colress, Tina asks their help in stopping Paulo's obsessive pursuit of strength. While they accept, Colress emphasizes that both making memories and becoming stronger are equally valid viewpoints, and that one shouldn't be completely rejected in favor of the other.

Tina is later kidnapped by the Shadow Triad on Ghetsis's orders in order to force Paulo to bring Hoopa to him in exchange for her safety. However, immediately upon Paulo's arrival, Ghetsis eats his words and says he'll keep using Tina as leverage. Paulo attempts to free her, but is overpowered by Ghetsis and the Shadow Triad. When Paulo's Rockruff is seemingly disintegrated by Kyurem, Paulo's anger peaks, allowing him to take control of Hoopa with his sync stone and transform it into its Unbound form. After driving Team Plasma away, Paulo leaves to use Hoopa Unbound's power to start eradicating evil from the world, ignoring Tina's objections.

After Paulo's confrontation with Team Rocket has ended with Hoopa falling under Giovanni's control and Paulo understanding the error of his ways, Tina reveals that Rockruff is still alive, with Hoopa having transported it away before Kyurem's attack hit it. She had later found it and brought it to the Pokémon Center to recover. With Paulo's fighting spirit restored, he, Tina, and the player leave to confront Giovanni, with Tina carrying a device made by Colress that should be able to restore Hoopa to normal. Making their way through Team Rocket's forces, they eventually reach Giovanni at the Champion Stadium and battle him. Tina's Flareon ultimately succeeds in restoring Hoopa to normal, causing all the Legendary Pokémon summoned by Hoopa to disappear. With this, Giovanni calls off Team Rocket's attack and retreats for now, allowing Tina and her friends to resume training in earnest.

Trivia

• The internal data of Pokémon Masters prior to version 1.4.0 had initially listed Tina as Camilla (Japanese: サザンカ Sazanka). The data had remained unused and was removed in subsequent versions, before it was added back in version 2.15.0 with the character officially introduced in the main story under her current name. This may have been due to her initial name being the same as Sanqua's in Japanese, German, Spanish, Italian, and Korean.
• In The Classic Thunderbolt special event, Tina is revealed to have owned her Flareon ever since he was an Eevee.
  • Tina's Sync Pair story confirms that Eevee was her Starter Pokémon
• In her sync pair story, Tina says she debated on what her Eevee should evolve into. She considered Vaporeon or Glaceon because they are nice and chilly, or Jolteon for its speed, but ultimately settled on Flareon because she felt its burning flames and passion were the best fit for her.

Origin

Flareon's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
