History

Pokémon Horizons: The Series

Onia threatening Liko through her Sprigatito

Onia debuted in The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One) alongside the other members of the Explorers. After spotting Liko hiding on the roof, Onia alerted her teammates and joined them on the roof. When Friede from the Rising Volt Tacklers swoop in to defend Liko, Amethio stopped her and Zirc from assisting. After Friede escaped with Liko in the next episode, her and the rest of the Explorers gave chase, broke through the airship's defenses, and threatened Liko to give herself up. Friede stopped them from leaving and battled Amethio once more, but they managed to escape after Liko's Sprigatito unleashed a Leafage strong enough to break the forcefield around the battlefield, taking it as a hostage in the process.

In For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!, Onia grew fond of Sprigatito and began pampering it. After she had run out of Pokémon food, Onia went shopping and was spotted by Murdock's Rockruff, who immediately alerted the nearby Rising Volt Tacklers and chased her back to the Explorers' hideout. Soon, Onia confronted Liko after she'd reunited with Sprigatito and was disappointed that the Grass Cat Pokémon wanted to stay with Liko. By blinding her and her Skarmory with a Leafage attack, Sprigatito and Liko were able to escape.

As of The Ancient Poké Ball, after leaving without a mission to complete, that was now given by Spinel, Onia decided to follow Amethio in order to discover more about the Black Rayquaza that was summoned from Roy's ancient Poké Ball.

In The Lonely Hatenna, Onia with Amethio and Zirc arrived in the Galar region in order to investigate the Galar Mine. In the next episode, Onia and his team arrived at the Galar Mine where they came across Liko, Roy, and Friede and they battled them. However, the two groups witnessed a Galarian Moltres that had an Ancient Poké Ball arrive and attack them. Seeing how powerful Moltres was, Onia and Zirc retreated from their battle against Liko and Roy. In the following episode, the two reunited with Amethio and agreed to help him get the Pokémon that was in Liko's pendant.

In Reunion at the Ancient Castle!, Onia, Amethio, and Zirc reported their findings to Hamber. Later, they followed Liko, Roy, and Friede to the old castle in Hammerlocke and surrounded them in order to take the Pokémon away. In the next episode, Oria tried to prevent Roy and Liko's escape, but failed. However, she was able to find Roy and Liko again, so he and Onia forced them to battle. During the battle, Onia was overwhelmed by Liko's improvement in battle, which led her to lose.

In Roar of the Black Rayquaza, Onia, Amethio and Zirc were able to locate Rayquaza. Amethio told his subordinates to remain on standby whilst he went to confront it.

After Amethio's battle against Black Rayquaza in From So Far Away, Onia appeared with Zirc to check if Amethio was okay, then the group returned to the Explorers' base.

Upon Amethio's orders, in The Treasure of Eternity, it was revealed that Onia and Zirc were spying on Spinel.

In HZ068, following his Amethio's dismissal from the Explorers, Amethio informed Onia that he was planning on going on a mission on his own. Showing loyalty to Amethio, Onia insisted on accompanying Amethio.

In HZ083, Onia joined Zirc and Amethio to investigate Spinel's lab at Exceed. After finding information about the research with Laquium, they were captured by the company's security team and imprisoned in a warehouse far from the company. After being saved by Hamber, and recovering their Pokémon, Onia and Zirc went to Amethio's mansion, where Hamber told the story of Gibeon from his point of view and how it led to the current moment. After that, the group formed by Onia, Amethio, and Zirc decided to go on their own to Laqua to stop Spinel from continuing with his plans and protect Gibeon.

Amongst the Explorers, Onia appears to be the most ruthless and violent of the trio, going so far as to threaten Liko through Sprigatito to achieve her goals. In For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!, however, Onia demonstrated a much lighter side while monitoring Sprigatito, even to the point of her wanting to keep the Grass Cat Pokémon to herself.

Onia has been shown to be quite loyal to Amethio, whether receiving instructions on how to proceed or not interfering with his actions. This was also shown in HZ068 when she insisted on accompanying Amethio on his mission after being dismissed from the Explorers.

Skarmory is Onia's first known Pokémon. She used it as her main mean of transportation.

In For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!, Onia sent out Skarmory to battle Liko and her Sprigatito, only for them to escape after blinding it with Leafage.

In HZ083, Skarmory, along with Onia's Golduck, as well as Zirc and Amethio's Pokémon, were all confiscated by Spinel's personal security when they infiltrated Exceed, but were later retrieved by Hamber.

Skarmory's only known move is Whirlwind.

Golduck is Onia's second known Pokémon and her main partner.

In Found You, Fuecoco!, Onia sent out Golduck to battle the Rising Volt Tacklers before confronting Liko and her Sprigatito, only to be defeated.

In Charge! Galar Mine!, Golduck was sent out by Onia to battle against Liko and Sprigatito again at the Galar Mine. Just as Golduck was about to make contact with its Scratch, Captain Pikachu sent it flying with a super-effective Volt Tackle. When Lucius's Moltres appeared, it attacked everyone in sight and Golduck ended up getting knocked out by its Air Slash attack, prompting Onia to recall her Pokémon and flee.

In Reunion at the Ancient Castle!, Golduck joined Zirc's Rhydon and Amethio's Ceruledge in ambushing the Rising Volt Tacklers and Diana at the old castle in Hammerlocke. In the next episode, it battled Liko's Sprigatito again, but due to Sprigatito's expert usage of Leafage to blind it, Golduck was ultimately knocked out and promptly recalled by Onia.

In HZ083, Golduck, along with Onia's Skarmory, as well as Zirc and Amethio's Pokémon, were all confiscated by Spinel's personal security when they infiltrated Exceed, but were later retrieved by Hamber, and Golduck happily reunited with its Trainer. It later enjoyed a meal at Amethio's mansion and confidently agreed with Onia in regards to assisting Amethio with his decision to reach Laqua.

Golduck's known moves are Scratch, Water Pulse, and Muddy Water.
