Pokemon Fan Comes Up With Crazy Theory About Who Iono Could Really Be
A Pokemon Scarlet and Violet enthusiast has shared an intriguing piece of artwork and a fascinating theory about the game’s gym leader, Iono. The theory has caught the attention of many electric Pokemon trainers and fans of the game.
Like its predecessors, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduces a new set of gym leaders whom the player must defeat to become the best. Winning gym badges helps trainers gain control over their Pokemon as they level up, making every gym an essential stop in the player’s journey. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, gym challenges take place before the actual battle, which tasks the player with unique experiences and game modes. Iono’s gym challenge focuses on making the player a part of her famous livestream. However, similar to V-Tubers, some fans speculate that Iono’s appearance is just a disguise or persona.
Reddit user DaveyGamersLocker shared an image that depicts Iono’s true appearance. According to the theory, the Levincia Gym Leader is actually a Magneton that is piloting a mechanical suit that looks like a human. Her face and hair are just a simple mask that covers the core face of the Magneton, while the other two remain visible and are mistaken for a Magnemite on either side of her head when she’s in her full disguise. Interestingly, despite her fondness for electric-type Pokemon, she never uses Magnemite or Magneton in battle.
Other fans have joined in and expanded upon DaveyGamersLocker’s theory with humorous ideas. Some believe that the mechanical body might contain additional Magneton or Magnemite. Others have pointed out that theories regarding Iono’s appearance have been around since her character introduction. Some suggested that she’s a robot controlled by Rotom, or, before the game’s release, a belief that she might be a V-Tuber who looks nothing like her appearance when livestreaming.
While these theories may seem far-fetched, the series has offered multiple instances of deceiving the player regarding a Pokemon or person’s true appearance. Ditto and Mimikyu are prime examples of this. Even the anime has provided opportunities for Team Rocket’s rare talking Meowth to pretend to be other Pokemon. Although it’s highly unlikely that Iono is anything other than what she appears to be, it’s understandable that fans would come up with fun theories suggesting otherwise.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are now available for Nintendo Switch.

Acquiring gym badges helps trainers to control their Pokemon as they increase in level, making every gym an important stop on the player’s journey. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violetgym challenges that take place before the actual battle that task the player with unique e and experiences and game modes, with Iono’s focusing on making the player a part of her renowned livestream. Like V-Tubers, though, some fans are musing at the idea of Iono’s appearance just being a disguise or persona.
Reddit user DaveyGamersLocker shared an image of their imagining of Iono, revealing the Levincia Gym Leader’s true appearance to actually just be a Magneton that’s piloting a mech suit that looks like a human being. Her face and hair are revealed to be just a simple mask that covers the core face of the Magneton, while the other two remain visible and are mistaken for a Magnemite on either side of her head when she’s in her full disguise. Amusingly, despite her fondness for electric-type Pokemon, Iono never uses Magnemite or Magneton in battle.
Other fans were quick to join in with funny ideas, further expanding upon DaveyGamersLocker’s theory. One suggested that the mech body might actually be full of additional Magneton or Magnemite. Others pointed out that theories about Iono having an appearance other than what’s visible on the surface have been around since her character introduction, with some suggesting she was actually a robot controlled by Rotom, or, prior to the release of the game, a belief that she might be a V-Tuber that looks nothing like how she appears when livestreaming.
These theories might seem outlandish or silly to some, but the series has certainly offered multiple instances of fooling the player regarding a Pokemon or person’s true appearance. Ditto and Mimikyu are both something other than what they seem at first glance, after all, and even the anime has given opportunities for Team Rocket’s rare talking Meowth to pretend to be other Pokemon. While it’s extremely unlikely that Iono is actually anything than what she appears to be, it’s understandable that fans would come up with fun theories suggesting otherwise.
