Description	Melony has been the Ice-type Gym Leader in Galar since she was in her twenties. She is also known as a very effective coach, but her coaching style is incredibly strict.

Melony (Japanese: メロン Melon) is a Pokémon Trainer in Pokémon Masters EX, based on the character of the same name in the core series games. She forms a sync pair with Lapras, which is capable of Gigantamaxing. This sync pair was first made available on October 5, 2022. This pair can be raised to 6★ EX from the day it was released.

Melony also forms a sync pair with Frosmoth. This pair can be obtained through a variety sync pair scout beginning on June 25, 2025. This pair can be raised to 6★ EX since it first released, though it lacks an EX style.
