Trivia

• Elio is the only main character who has never appeared in an event story without his opposite-gender counterpart.
• Elio and Selene are one of two pairs of protagonists where it is unknown which one is based on the player character from their games of origin, the other being Chase and Elaine.
• In the story event Galar's Poké Ball Enthusiast, it is confirmed that Elio knows that Professor Kukui is the Masked Royal.
  • This was first implied in the Countdown 2021 log-in bonus, where Elio starts to address the Masked Royal as "Professor" before catching himself.
• In the Eevee Day Celebration! event Eevee Tales, Elio reveals that he first met his Espeon as an Eevee near Paniola Town.
• All versions of Elio use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon). Those Trainers include Selene, Hau, Lillie, Gladion, Hala, Olivia, Nanu, Hapu, Professor Kukui (but not the Masked Royal), and Samson Oak.
  • Elio also uses special voice-over lines upon winning a battle with Selene, Hau, Lillie, Gladion, or Samson Oak in the same team.

Origin

Elio's design is based on his appearance in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Popplio is one of the first partner Pokémon of Alola in the core series games. Popplio, Brionne, and Primarina's Dex entries come from Pokémon Ultra Sun.

Elio's Espeon may be based on the Eevee that can be obtained as an Egg from an unnamed Pokémon Breeder at Paniola Ranch. Espeon is also known as the Sun Pokémon, which matches Elio's name origin of Helios, the Greek god of the sun, as well as Elio being one of the potential main characters of Pokémon Sun. Espeon's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.

Elio's Alt. outfit design is based on his appearance in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Stakataka is one of the Ultra Beasts, which is caught by the player during the post-game of Pokémon Ultra Moon. In addition, Elio's Pokémon Adventures counterpart owns a Stakataka. Stakataka's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.

Necrozma is a Legendary Pokémon that is encountered and potentially caught by the player during the story of Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Dusk Mane Necrozma's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
