Ally and Rival

Pokemon Legends Z-A - List of Characters Urbaine and Taunie

Urbain or Taunie will be one of your main allies in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. They work in Hotel Z with AZ and is part of Team MZ.

They can be considered as the rival character in the game, like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Nemona. They will help out in Pokemon battles for certain story events.

Appearance Depends on Character Choice

Just like in Pokemon XY, Urbain or Taunie will be chosen based on the gender of your character. Urbain will appear if you choose Harmony or the girl character. If you pick Paxton or the boy character, Taunie will appear instead.

Urbain and Taunie's Name Meaning

Names Comes From City Concepts

Urbain is the French word for Urban, written in the masculine form. Meanwhile, Taunie comes from the word Townie which means a town resident.

Both names are thematic of the game's urban setting. Instead of exploring an entire region, like in other mainline Pokemon games, Pokemon Legends: Z-A's main location is the redeveloped Lumiose City.
