Pokemon Scarlet Violet Nemona cover

Nemona is the main rival of the protagonists of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Not only is she the Academy’s student council president of the current school year that the game is set on, she is also known as the youngest trainer to achieve the Champion Rank. Yet with all of these achievements, she still is undoubtedly a young trainer. How old is Nemona exactly?

Nemona’s Age in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Nemona’s age wasn’t disclosed in the game, but just based solely on her looks, she is estimated to be around 15 or 16 years old. She appears to be older than the protagonists or Penny, but younger or around the same age as Arven.

Although Nemona attends most classes with the protagonist and that she looks the oldest among the students in these classes, it does not help as much in pinpointing her exact age given that the Academy appears to have quite a flexible curriculum when it comes to age requirement.

Other trivia about Nemona

  • Nemona’s father is the president of the Rotom Phone company and she has an older sister.
  • She picks a starter with a type disadvantage than what the protagonist chooses, same as with Bianca, Shauna, and Hau.
  • When Nemona asks the protagonist to be her rival after becoming the champion, the protagonist cannot refuse.

Nemona’s Champion Rank

Despite being already obtaining the Champion Rank, Nemona still decided to take the Victory Road journey on a level that is on par with the protagonist. Her record of being the youngest trainer to achieve the Champion Rank may just be limited for the Paldea region alone as there are other younger champions from the other regions in previous games, unless she obtained the title years back when she is around the same age as Poppy.
