{{main|Tierno (Masters)}}
:''"All right! Nice to meetcha! You know, it'd feel like we were a closer crew if we called each other by nicknames. Can I call you <player's name's first letter>-{{tt|Meister|If the player character is male}}/{{tt|Lady|If the player character is female}} <player's name's first letter>?"''
Tierno forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Crawdaunt}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Tierno became a playable sync pair on March 18, 2024.
:''"I know right? It was such a cool feeling when [[Trevor|Trevs]] and I met our Pokémon! Hope you feel the same way we did!"''
:''"Oh lighten up, Trevs! You're way too serious sometimes. Um, <player's nickname>... Please take this with you, too. It's a [[Prof's Letter|letter]] from the [[Professor Sycamore|professor]]. He said you should give it to your {{kal|Grace|mom}}."''
:''"All right! We're done with our errand for the professor. I guess Trevs and I will go look for Pokémon! Let's go, Trevs!"''


'''[[Santalune Forest]]'''
Tierno first appeared as an NPC during the [[Kalos]] chapter of the [[Villain Arc]].
*After first right turn (if talked to)
:''"This {{tc|Youngster}} challenged me to a Pokémon battle! Let's go!"''


*At the exit to {{rt|3|Kalos}}

*Upon exiting the forest
:''"I'll bet different Pokémon will use different moves. I sure want to see lots of moves."''
 
*If talked to
:''"Your Pokemon's {{stat|HP}}... If it gets low, you have to go to the Pokémon Center <player's nickname>, I think you should go there, too."''
 
'''[[Santalune City]] [[Pokémon Center]]'''
:''"Oh! Hey there, <player's nickname>! Are you here to get your Pokémon healed, too? Pokémon Centers sure are great. You can talk to the lady at the counter and have her heal your Pokémon. And you can even deposit Pokémon you've caught in that [[PC]]! Know how Pokémon are sent to a PC when you've caught more than you can carry? That's where they go! Oh yeah, <player's nickname>! There's a [[Poké Mart]] in the back of a Pokémon Center. IT's a good idea to stock up on [[Poké Ball]]s and [[Potion]]s and stuff at the Poké Mart, too."''
 
'''{{DL|South Boulevard|Sycamore Pokémon Lab}}'''
:''"Hi, Professor Sycamore."''
:''"{{tt|The best Trainer... If being the best Trainer had more to do with dancing, then I might have a chance.|Only if talked to}}"''
 
*After talking to [[Lysandre]]
:''"No clue, but it seems hush-hush. I AM curious about what's going on, but we should probably stay out of it."''
:''"Hey, <player's nickname>! To get to [[Camphrier Town]], leave the lab, turn left, and go straight. That Café Soleil Calem/Serena was talking about is over that way, too.
 
'''[[South Boulevard]]'''
*After exiting Sycamore's lab
:''"I'm gonna go on a little walk... The streets sure wind and wander here."''

:''"Yeah! They're just like a dance team made up of Pokémon, aren't they?"''
:''"Nope! Even during Pokémon battles, I'm always checkin' out their moves! And then my feet just starting moving, too! I can't even help it, y'know? Like with {{m|Swords Dance}}! I love it! I guess that's why I can never win…"''
 
* Before battle
:''"Oh, hey, it's <player's nickname>! Do your Pokémon know any sweet moves? Show me in a battle!"''
 
* When defeated
:''"That was some nice footwork!"''
 
* After being defeated
:''"Well, yeah, Trevs! Coming up with the world's best Pokémon dance IS my dream, after all! I was born to dance! I won't ever stop! Not with moves like this!"''
 
* If talked to after the battle
:''"Man, I really want to meet a Pokémon that can use the move {{m|Teeter Dance}}. Then I'd wanna dance with it, right?"''
 
'''{{rt|7|Kalos}}'''
*In front of the Day Care
:''"Oh, hey, <player's nickname>! Trevs said he wants to check out the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. Come with us!"''
 
*Inside the Day Care
:''"Wow! A Pokémon will come out? Maybe I'll leave some Pokémon here! Having the same Pokémon with the same moves might step my dance up! How about you, <player's nickname>?"''
:''"Well, I'm gonna go look for some Pokémon for my dance team!"''
 
*In the flowers
:''"Hey, <player's nickname>, have you seen {{p|Dunsparce}}?"''
 
*After being defeated in [[Multi Battle]]
:''"Whoa... Now THAT was a nice move!"''
 
*If talked to after the battle
:''"Win or lose--either way, you gotta smile! If your Pokémon see you getting down in the dumps, they might be less confident."''
 
'''[[Reflection Cave]]'''
:''"Hey, <player's nickname>! If you use the move [[Flash]], not as many wild Pokémon will turn up."''
:''"I kinda depend on Flash. I'm still not very good at battling, so I keep running into trouble... I sure wish I could be as good as you."''
 
'''[[Shalour City]]'''
*Second set of stairs
:''"Hey, <player's nickname>! How's your journey going?"''
:''"Get this! I've found some great Pokémon dancers!"''
:''"That's right! He did say that! Ummm... Who were we supposed to say hello to again?"''
:''"Oh, that's right! He did say that! Well, I guess we should look for the [[Gurkinn|Mega Evolution guru]], then! Where do you think he is anyway?"''
 
*On beach section
:''"<player's nickname>, check this out! Isn't [[Intriguing Stone|this stone]] cool? I got it from this person called the wandering stone collector for showing off my dance moves! It might be a [[Mega Stone]]! Here, <player's nickname>, you can have it!"''

:''"Yeah, I think it's been since we met up on Route 7. Mr. Mega Evolution Guru... I've been wondering this whole time. Who is that over there?"''
:''"I'll Pass. Pokémon battling isn't really my scene. So, [[Mega Evolution]] would be way out of my league."''

Tierno (Japanese: ティエルノ Tierno) is a friend and rival of the player in Pokémon X and Y.

In the core series games

Tierno with the player's other friends in Aquacorde Town

Tierno appears in Pokémon X and Y as a friend of the player, to whom he gives the first partner Pokémon sent through him by Professor Sycamore. He is a dancer and his goal is to create a dance team with Pokémon and wants to find Pokémon with amazing moves. As such, the Pokémon in his party know "dance moves", such as Swords Dance and Petal Dance.

Tierno is first met in Aquacorde Town, where he delivers the player and two of his or her friends a first partner Pokémon on behalf of Professor Sycamore. He is then met at the Pokémon Center in Santalune City, where he gives the player a minor tutorial on what is in the Pokémon Center.

Tierno is first battled on Route 5, and then again on Route 7, albeit this time with Trevor. Tierno is next met in Reflection Cave, where he gives the player a TM containing Flash.

After the completion of the story line, Tierno can be found in Coumarine City, asking to see a Pokémon knowing a randomly selected dance move each day, giving the player a Heart Scale if his request is fulfilled.

Tierno also appears as one of the player's partners in the Battle Maison when choosing Multi Battle.

Tierno
Main article: Tierno (Kalos Starter Set 39)

Tierno was introduced as a Supporter Card in the Pokémon Trading Card Game at the beginning of the English XY Series (the Japanese XY Era). First released in the Japanese XY Beginning Set, the Tierno card later debuted in the English Kalos Starter Set, with both prints featuring an illustration based on the Ken Sugimori artwork of the character. With the same effect as Cheren from the Emerging Powers expansion, Tierno allows the player to draw three cards from their deck.
