Korrina (Japanese: コルニ Corni[3]) is a character who appears in Pokémon X and Y and the Mega Dimension DLC of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.

In Pokémon X and Y, she is also the Gym Leader of Shalour City's Gym, known officially as the Shalour Gym. She gives the Rumble Badge to Trainers who defeat her.
In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, she befriends and joins Team MZ, helping them solve the mystery of Hyperspace Lumiose.
In the core series games
Appearance
Pokémon X and Y
Korrina is a young girl with a slender, athletic build and fair complexion. She has blue-gray eyes and very long, knee-length cream-blonde hair tied in a big, thick, high fluffy ponytail that emerges from the back of her helmet. She is noted to have powerful legs; the television show Gym Freaks mentions that her axe-kicks can shatter rocks.
Korrina wears a typical skater attire, consisting of a short white and red sleeveless dress over black cycling shorts and a white and red helmet on her head. In her left hand she holds the Mega Glove, which has the same function as the Mega Ring as it has a Key Stone embedded on it. She also wears white rollerskate boots with red decals.
Pokémon Legends: Z-A
5 years later, Korrina's hair is noticeably longer, and she wears it into a bun and a ring, resembling the Mega Evolution symbol. She first appears wearing a thick white full-body coat, before she takes it off and reveals her current outfit: a zipper crop top with a tall collar, double-layered shorts, and a bandana, all of which are colored in various hues of yellow, green, blue, and purple. Her bandana has the Mega Evolution sigil printed on it. Korrina also wears white arm-length gloves and white boots with yellow-green laces and soles. Her boots have rollerskate wheels embedded in the soles, though they are much less noticeable than her previous appearance.
As part of her goal to master Mega Evolution, Korrina carries many Mega Stones on her person, embedding them in bandolier-like straps that wrap around her torso and waist. Like her Pokémon X and Y appearance, Korrina still embeds her Key Stone on the back of her left glove.
History
Pokémon X and Y
Korrina is a Gym Leader from Shalour City. Trainers who defeat Korrina will receive the Rumble Badge, along with TM98 (Power-Up Punch). According to the television show Gym Freaks and an NPC at Café Action!, she is a PR Video star and often dresses up in costumes.
Korrina first appears on Route 5, when one of her Lucario comes up to the player while she is doing some special training. She notes about how Lucario has taken a liking to the player's aura, then introduces herself to the player as the Shalour City Gym Leader. She then appears in Geosenge Town, where she challenges the player to a battle with her two Lucario.
After arriving in Shalour City, Korrina can be found in the Tower of Mastery with her grandfather Gurkinn, the Mega Evolution guru. Once the player wins the battle for the Mega Ring against their rival, Korrina will go to her Gym for a battle.
After battling her at the Gym, she will immediately invite the player to a rematch atop the Tower of Mastery. There, Korrina gives the player the Mega Ring. After that, the Lucario that had become close to the player temporarily joins their team, and the two have a one-on-one battle, using just their Lucario, both holding a Lucarionite. Win or lose, the player has the option of getting the Lucario that joined them for the battle.
Once the player obtains rank of Marquis/Marchioness at the Battle Chateau, Korrina and the other Gym Leaders will be able to be battled there for rematches. There, Korrina will possess the rank of Marchioness.

Following two years of planning and another year of shooting, her highly anticipated new PR Video is scheduled for release at the end of next year! Oh... She went inside the Gym... That's all for the on-site report. Good-bye for now, everyone."

After AZ passes away, his Lucario and the letter are left in the player's room in Hotel Z.

Pokémon UNITE
Korrina and her Lucario appear in Pokémon UNITE as an enemy Trainer to fight during the Legacy Trainer Showdown event between September 9, 2022 and October 6, 2022. It took place on Theia Sky Ruins. The other members of her team are Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Green. The event later returned between April 21, 2023 and May 21, 2023.
Korrina and her Lucario also appear as an enemy Trainer in the recurring Solo Challenge event. This event has Casual, Intermediate, Expert, and Extreme difficulties. The composition of the opposing team varies depending on the event and the difficulty. The full team consists of herself, Cynthia, Raihan, Leon, and Green. In Cynthia themed events, Korrina and the other non-Cynthia members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by Ace Trainers. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Leon and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In Leon themed events, Korrina and the other non-Leon members do not appear in the Casual difficulty, being replaced by Ace Trainers. On the Intermediate difficulty, only Cynthia and Green are replaced by Ace Trainers. In this mode, Korrina and her Lucario never use Holowear.
Unlike other Trainers in this game, Korrina and the non-Ace Trainer members of her team are represented with two-dimensional artwork instead of three-dimensional models. In the pre-battle splash screen, Korrina has a custom Unite Snapshot depicting her and her Lucario with two dimensional artwork (the normal display of the Unite License/Holowear is not used). This means her Battle Item is not shown. However, she uses Eject Button.

In the manga
Pokémon Adventures
Korrina debuted in Lucky Lucario Was Here. She first appeared in Santalune City after being called there by Viola. As soon as she arrived, she helped X defeat Celosia, a Team Flare scientist, and retrieve a Kangaskhanite she stole. Later, Korrina gave Tierno a pair of Roller Skates as a gift. Upon learning X received his Mega Ring without the proper succession ceremony, Korrina refused to acknowledge X as a true Mega Evolution Successor and angrily left without telling him more about it.
In Trevenant Pokes, Korrina returned to the Tower of Mastery, where she demanded that Gurkinn explain why he gave X a Mega Ring. Before Gurkinn could answer, the tower was attacked by a Trevenant used by Essentia, another Team Flare member. Korrina and Gurkinn fought the villain, only for Essentia to reveal she was distracting them while her Trevenant covered the tower in vines, trapping them inside. In order to prevent the secrets of Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, Korrina reluctantly helped Gurkinn activate the Tower of Mastery's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.
In Connecting with Gardevoir, Korrina met Diantha, one of Gurkinn's students. Diantha led Korrina to a nearby river where they found Gurkinn under attack by Chalmers, a Team Flare Admin. Once Gurkinn was rescued, he, Korrina, and Diantha used their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Afterward, Diantha joined Korrina and Gurkinn and they set off to keep the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas and Yveltal out of Team Flare's clutches.
In Tying Trevenant, Korrina, Gurkinn, and Diantha helped X and his friends fight Team Flare on Route 9 to stop them from taking Xerneas's tree form. Gurkinn helped X take on Essentia, Diantha was challenged by Malva, while Korrina went ahead to keep Celosia from transporting Xerneas to Team Flare's base. After a tough battle, Korrina's Lucario defeated Celosia's Aegislash, but fainted from exhaustion afterward. As she confidently proclaimed victory, Korrina failed to notice Celosia's lurking behind her and launching an attack. Later, X and his friends found Korrina's unconsciouus body, where they learned that Celosia successfully took Xerneas as well as taking the Key Stone in Korrina's Mega Glove.
In Quilladin Stands, Korrina was taken to a hospital in Laverre City to recover from her injuries. In Floette Returns, three months after Team Flare's defeat, Korrina was revealed to have fully recuperated. X was asked by Korrina to come to Shalour City to become an official Mega Evolution Successor. Once X arrived at the city, however, Korrina was upset to see that he did not bring his friends for the succession ceremony. She then had him call for his friends before proceeding with the ceremony.
