Trivia
- Viola's English VA gives her a French accent, which may be because her home region of Kalos is based on France.
- However, she is the only Trainer from Kalos to have a French accent in Pokémon Masters EX.
Origin
Viola's design is based on her appearance in Pokémon X and Y. Surskit is one of the Pokémon Viola uses during the Gym battle against her in the core series games, while Masquerain is used during the rematches against her. Surskit and Masquerain's Dex entries come from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
