Description	Gladion doesn't say much, but he cares deeply about his friends, family, and Pokémon. He used to be much more rebellious and fixated on becoming stronger.

Gladion (Japanese: グラジオ Glazio) 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 Silvally. He was first introduced in the story event Family Ties. The sync pair can be obtained through the sync pair scout starting on September 14, 2020. The pair's potential can be upgraded to 6★ EX from when the pair was first released, which unlocks Gladion's EX Style.

Gladion also forms a sync pair with his Golbat. This pair can be obtained by reaching Friendship Level 100 with Gladion in the Trainer Lodge beginning on November 1, 2023. This pair can be raised to 6★ EX since it first released, though this pair lacks an EX style.

Silvally (All Type Changes)

Raising this sync pair to 6★ EX will unlock Song Key 07005, which allows "Battle! (Gladion) (Pokémon Masters EX Version)" to be played in the Jukebox.
