Description	The Galar Champion, known as the unbeatable Leon, is a superstar who boasts unprecedented charisma and popularity. Rumor has it he is quite bad with directions.

Leon (Japanese: ダンデ Dande) is a Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Masters EX, based on the character of the same name in the core series games. He forms a sync pair with Charizard, which is capable of Gigantamaxing. The sync pair can be obtained through a Master Fair sync pair scout, and was first available on February 26, 2021. The pair's potential can be upgraded to 6★ EX from when the pair was first released, which unlocks Leon's EX Style.

Leon is also available in his sygna suit, partnered alongside Eternatus, which is capable of Eternamaxing. The sync pair can be obtained through a Poké Fair sync pair scout, and was first available on August 12, 2021. This pair is also capable of being upgraded to 6★ EX from when the pair was first released.

Leon is also available in his holiday attire, partnered alongside Ice Rider Calyrex. The sync pair can be obtained through a Seasonal sync pair scout, and was first available on December 16, 2021. This pair is also capable of being upgraded to 6★ EX from when the pair was first released.

Leon is also available in his Battle Tower attire, forming a sync pair with his Dragapult, which is capable of Dynamaxing. This pair can be obtained through a Poké Fair scout beginning on July 31, 2023. This pair can also be raised to 6★ EX since it first released.

Trivia

  • Leon & Eternatus are also the first sygna suit sync pair capable of using Dynamax.
• Sygna Suit Leon & Eternatus are the first sygna suit sync pair with a Legendary Pokémon.
• Sygna Suit Leon is the only Trainer to use Eternamax.
• During the story event Winter Wishes, Calyrex briefly takes over Sawyer's body to talk with Leon, referencing how Calyrex frequently speaks through Peony the same way during Pokémon Sword and Shield's The Crown Tundra expansion.
• All versions of Leon 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 Victor, Gloria, Hop, Raihan, Sonia, Rose, Red, and Lance.
  • This makes Leon the character with the most special voice-over lines for winning with certain Trainers on the team.

Origin

In the story of Pokémon Sword and Shield, Leon attempts to catch Eternatus to calm the Darkest Day, but fails. Eternatus's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Shield.

Leon does not own a Calyrex outside this game. Ice Rider Calyrex's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Sword.

Leon's Alt outfit is the same outfit he wears when battling the player in the Battle Tower. Dragapult is a Pokémon that Leon uses on his team in the core series games. Dragapult's Dex entry comes from Pokémon Sword.
