Trista (Japanese: クルティ Curti) is a character introduced in Pokémon Masters EX. She is one of the three receptionists at the Pokémon Center in Centra City, along with Tricia and Trinnia.

In the games

Trista staffs the reception desk at the Pokémon Center. Talking with her gives the player quick access to things they might need to use frequently:

• The Tips menu gives in-depth information about all the mechanics of Pokémon Masters EX.
• Trista's Guide is a short guide designed to ease new players into the game by introducing them to some important features the game has to offer.
• Event Info highlights three currently ongoing events with an image and a short blurb. Tapping on the image for any of these events will immediately take the player to the area info for that event.

During the story, Trista passes on warnings to the player when potentially dangerous activity occurs. She also occasionally serves a role similar to that of traditional Pokémon Center nurses, helping to treat injured Pokémon and being consulted about health issues of Pokémon.

"Oh! <player>! There's something you need to know."

"We got news that a Legendary Pokémon suddenly appeared in a certain area of Pasio."

"Since team battles are the norm here at the PML, you'll need your Poryphone to communicate with the other sync pairs on your team."

"So we hope you can build some friendships with a lot of different Trainers here too, <player>!"

"I'm still carrying out my duties as the receptionist, of course. So, without further ado..."

"Welcome! How can I help you today?"

• When leaving

"We hope to serve you again!"

Special Event - Weather Alert

"Oh, <player>! I have something I need to tell you!"

"We've received reports of extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain and severe drought, in certain areas of Pasio."

"I've been asking the sync pairs here to help investigate."

"Would you be so kind as to help with the investigation, <player>?"

"There are rewards involved as well, of course! Please help out!"

"Today we have an announcement for all sync pairs."

"I'm sure you already know this, but Team Rocket is an organization that operated mainly in the Kanto and Johto regions."

"They cause all sorts of trouble by using Pokémon to steal things and carry out their awful plans."

"In light of safety, please be sure to keep an eye on your Pokémon and personal belongings."

"Also, please try to travel in groups as much as possible."

"*sigh* Just as we got Team Break under control, now this happens."

"I hope it's taken care of soon so everyone can finally be at ease."

Story Event - Shine a Gentle Light

• Sad Ampharos

"I've looked her over, but it doesn't seem like there are any health issues."

"If there is a reason, it might be related to her feelings."

"To me, it seems she might be feeling a little isolated and sad because Pasio is a new environment for her."

"Maybe we need to lighten her mood?"

"Oh, a party! I think that's a wonderful idea."

"Yes! I'll be looking forward to it."

• The Party Begins?

"How is Ampharos?"

• Guide through the Darkness
