Tonio (Japanese: トニオ Tonio) is a character from the movie The Rise of Darkrai. He was researching the events that had been happening recently in Alamos Town. He had a crush on Alice, who he had befriended early on in life. His Japanese voice actors are Kōji Yamamoto (adult) and Daisuke Sakaguchi (child), and his English voice actor is Rich McNanna.
For a long time Alice believed that it was Tonio who saved her life after she descended from a collapsed cliff. Tonio was never truly sure who exactly saved her but realized later in the movie that it was Darkrai.
Alice returned Tonio's love for her by the end of the movie, although she had been exhibiting romantic feelings for Tonio before.
Tonio and Alice reappear together in Arceus and the Jewel of Life. While they are continuing their relationship, Baron Alberto continues trying to win Alice for himself.

| Drifblim is Tonio's only known Pokémon, and is mostly used by him to conduct scientific analysis throughout Alamos Town. Despite this, Drifblim also knows how to defend itself as it easily sent Team Rocket's Carnivine Balloon when the trio attempted to catch it and several Drifloon with a net.
Drifblim's only known attack is Gust. | ||

Trivia
- His name and character, as well as his ancestor Godey, is probably derived from Antoni Gaudí, a famous artist and architect of the Sagrada Família, and from Barcelona, Spain, the location upon which Alamos Town is based.
