Trivia

• It was announced on May 28, 2023, that Irida would be added to the Trainer Lodge in July 2023, making her the first character to have her addition to the Trainer Lodge announced more than a month in advance.
• All versions of Irida use special voice-over lines upon entering a team that contains certain Trainers (regardless of their partner Pokémon) and victory with them. Those Trainers include Adaman, Akari, and Rei.
• In one of Irida's Pokémon Center conversations, she says she's heard about Alola's island kahunas and mistakenly assumes they're Pokémon. This is a joke that was lost in translation, as the Japanese name for island kahuna (しまキング Island King or しまクイーン Island Queen) is very similar to the Japanese name for noble Pokémon (キング・クイーン Kings and Queens).
• In Irida's first friendship story, she and the player get to see three different locations in virtual reality, represented by other characters' sync move mindscapes:
  • The Bell Tower, as seen in Sygna Suit Morty's mindscape.
  • The entrance to Victory Road in Unova, as seen in Nate's mindscape.
  • The Snowpoint Gym, as seen in Candice's mindscape.
• In The Power of Dance costume event, it is revealed that Irida caught her Zoroark in a space-time distortion.
• Irida & Glaceon are the first Master Fair-exclusive Ice-type sync pair.
• Along with Red and Gloria, Irida is the first trainer introduced before Generation IX seen using the Terastal phenomenon in any Pokémon media.

Origin

Irida's design is based on her appearance in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Glaceon is Irida's signature Pokémon in the core series games. Glaceon's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.

Flareon is another Pokémon that Irida uses in the core series games. Flareon's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.

Irida is not seen owning a Hisuian Zoroark outside this game, though it was introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, like Irida was. Moreover, it is native to the Alabaster Icelands, just like Irida. Zoroark's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

Irida is not seen owning a Hisuian Typhlosion outside this game, though it was introduced in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, like Irida was. Typhlosion's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
