This is just a sum up for Rivals and NPCs. They will get their own separate pages with more details about them.

These are some of the characters you will encounter throughout your journey

Professor Iris Arcadia: She is the professor of the Dranowa region. She studies pokemon and is currently investigating the phenomena of Dual Type Moves (this is a new feature for the game). Her lab is located in a small rural town called Rowanoak with her two children.

She's currently married to a former Cipher admin named Ein. He's not home often but does drop by from time to time.

Alvis: He is the professor's son and one of your rivals. He has an obsession with the extraterrestrial and paranormal much to the annoyance of his sister. He tries to steal Cosmo from Trevor to prove that he's a legendary pokemon but eventually gives up after the first encounter with Team Nova and helps you on your journey to stop them.

His ace pokemon is a Astraleon

His character was inspired by Dib from Invader Zim.

Pandora: Alvis's sister. She just sits at home all day and does nothing. Don't make her mad or you'll regret it.

She's rumored to be one of the strongest trainers in Dranowa. She'll also give you a Genesect if you manage to beat her in a battle.

She was inspired by Gaz.

Trevor: A mysterious kid who has a mysterious pokemon. He has flaming orange hair and is a friendly person. He seems to have a connection to the group Team Nova and is being hunted by a strange figure.

Once you defeat Team Nova, there is an optional battle against him where you'll get a Nebulick egg (this can also be obtained by breeding Galatia and Galattos at the daycare however the one you get from Trevor is unique as it is just like Cosmo and learns an exclusive move, Solarwind Sweep) once you defeat him.

He can also be re-battled post game at Nova HQ once per day.

Other player character: This is the opposite player character from the one you chose and main rival. They will pick the starter that yours is strong against.
