Description	This highly curious and easygoing Trainer is friendly with everyone and quite easy to get along with. She doesn't worry about the little things and tends to act on instinct.

Selene (Japanese: ミヅキ Mizuki) is a Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Masters EX, based on the character of the same name in the core series. She forms a sync pair with Rowlet and its evolutions, Dartrix and Decidueye. The sync pair can be obtained through the sync pair scout, starting on April 15, 2021. This pair can be upgraded to 6★ EX since it first released.

Selene also forms a sync pair with her Umbreon. This pair can be obtained through a Variety sync pair scout beginning on November 21, 2023. This pair can be raised to 6★ EX since it first released, though this pair lacks an EX style.

Rowlet → Dartrix → Decidueye

Rowlet can evolve into Dartrix once it has reached level 30 through its sync pair story Rowlet's Evolution, and then into Decidueye once it has reached level 45 through its sync pair story Dartrix's Evolution.

Trivia

• When the pair first released, Selene's Rowlet erroneously had the wrong cry. This was fixed in version 2.9.0.
• Among the three sync pairs with fully-evolved first partner Pokémon of Alola, Selene and Decidueye are the only sync pair whose sync move is not based on the partner Pokémon's exclusive Z-Move.
• Selene has never appeared in an event story area that Elio has not also appeared in. They are the only pair of protagonists with this distinction.
• So far, it is unclear whether Selene or Elio is based on the player character of the Alola-based games. They both moved from Kanto to Alola, went on the island challenge, and have a Meowth as a family pet.
• Selene does not know the true identity of the Masked Royal, as shown in the story event Trials on the Isle.
• In the Eevee Day Celebration! event Eevee Tales, Selene reveals that she first met her Umbreon as an Eevee near Paniola Town.

Origin

Selene's design is based on her appearance in Pokémon Sun and Moon. Rowlet is the one of the first partner Pokémon of Alola in the core series games. In addition, Selene's Pokémon Adventures counterpart has been depicted with Rowlet and its evolutions. Rowlet, Dartrix, and Decidueye's Dex entries come from Pokémon Ultra Sun.

Selene's Umbreon may be based on the Eevee that can be obtained from an unnamed Pokémon Breeder at Paniola Ranch. Umbreon is also known as the Moon Pokémon, which matches Selene's name origin of Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, as well as Selene being one of the potential main characters of Pokémon Moon. Umbreon's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Ultra Sun.
