Viola is a photographer who uses Bug-type Pokémon. Her Gym is a giant spider web suspended over the room.

  • Story: The first badge challenge earns the Bug Badge and TM83 Infestation. Her sister Alexa works as a journalist in Lumiose City.
  • In the game: Her team is Surskit at level 10 and Vivillon at level 12. Fire, Flying and Rock attacks are effective; Vivillon’s Bug/Flying typing makes Rock moves especially strong.
