Trivia
- Winona and Clair are the only known Gym Leaders to own a shiny Pokémon.
- Her name Winona may possibly have a play on the word "wind" (hence the first three letters) which is associated with air or flying, which makes sense since she is a flying type trainer.
- In the Pokémon Adventures manga, she is portrayed as has a kind of relationship with Wallace, though nor in the anime or the games confirmed its legibility.
- She has a shiny Swellow both in the games and anime. But it was replaced by other Flying type Pokémon on later instalment (Pokémon Emerald).
